Therapeutic approach

There are approximately as many different approaches to therapy as there are therapists.

Som psychologists emphasize the need for methodological rigor and follow manuals by the letter. I am not one of them. Research into therapy shows that it’s not the method that predicts the outcome of therapy. It’s the therapeutic relationship/alliance between client and therapist that is essential. That’s why my most important task is to resonate with you, offer support, challenges, and daring to be with both your darkness and your light, your pain and your joy.

I believe in the shared pursuit of meaning-making. Your thougts on who you are, what you’ve been through, your wishes, dreams and goals: that’s exactly what therapy should center around. Together we strive to learn about you as we try to make sense of how the past has hurt you, how the present is treating you, and what you hope for or fear in the future. And to that end you’ve got me as your therapeutic anchor, sparring patner and detective who helps puzzle the pieces back together. 

Life’s meant to be fun. And sometimes you gotta wade through shit to get on the path to having fun, finding meaning, and experiencing love and loving.

I’m good at finding that damned path.

Best wishes,
