ABOUT THERAPY

Therapy is a way of learning about your self and how to make the best life for your self possible! There were things we were supposed to learn when we were growing up: the value of our selves, the worth and lovableness that is our birthright, and how to go about the business of a successful life. But for many of us, we got off track and formed self-defeating beliefs, and that's where we're stuck. Most of the time we don't have a clue how to unlearn this stuff. Since a lot of what we are stuck in is learned, a lot of psychotherapy is about teaching.

So I teach a lot. We have to look at what you believe about yourself that's wrong, and practice new beliefs that feel new and foreign to you. And although therapy is hard work, I use methods that speed up the teaching and that help change come as fast as possible.

I work experientially. That means that we experience your reality together so that you feel your way into the healing as much as you learn and think it. It's the difference between learning about what a new spice tastes like and actually tasting it. Once you taste it, feel it and experience it, you know it. You get it.
