Read More
Therapy can be a place to set goals and have a support for accountability. In therapy, goal-oriented therapy will work to establish specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-sensitive goals. Therapy can also be the place to explore what gets in the way of a goal being acheived and work to address that barrier.
About Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is your opportunity to self-explore, identify your needs and wants, and find ways to reach your goals.
Throughout our lives, we all develop ways to protect ourselves from hurt and loss. These defenses do a pretty good job for the most part. Sometimes, these ways of protection become fixed and rigid to a point that they interfere with other parts of our lives. We sometimes call these symptoms of mental illness.
My goal in therapy is to help you develop flexibility with that protective behavior so that you can live a full life. This is done by developing mindfulness skills and working on understanding ourselves more clearly. This is all easier said than done. I understand that coming to therapy can bring up all of these protective factors that may be triggered by meeting a new person, a medical professional, or whatever else may be being brought up.
With all this in mind, it is my job to create a space that you feel safe and establish myself trustworthiness in order for those protections be less intense. Your role in therapy is to become curious about those protective parts, get to know them and where they came from. Over the course of therapy, you can have a more flexible relationship with that protection and live more fully.
