Adult psychotherapy involves individual sessions, but it might also involve sessions with a partner.
The type of treatment I provide represents a combination of three psychological perspectives: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and the Practice of Mindfulness. Treatment is completely tailored to your individual needs.
The immediate goal of therapy is to help you find your way through difficult times by developing effective coping strategies for your problems. The overall long-term goal is for you to develop a sense of resilience. I will help you identify your strengths; modify inaccurate perceptions about yourself and others; understand both risks and benefits in relationships; learn from your past; remain resilient in the face of present and future adversities; and strive for happiness and fulfillment in your life.
