My personal life experiences and my training in psychotherapy have led me to believe that every person is the product of their genetics and their experiences. Experiences are particularly formative when they occur early in our development (childhood and adolescence), as the human brain is still highly malleable at that stage. These experiences set the course for our beliefs about ourselves, other people, and the world, as well as our behavioral patterns and strategies for regulating emotions. No one chooses their genetics or their childhood experiences. As adults, however, we can have experiences that help us gain a new perspective.
Psychotherapy can be such a new experience. The goal is to resolve or improve psychological issues.
In general, my patients’ autonomy is very important to me, as change is only possible on a voluntary basis, and only you can know what a positive change in your life might look like. I would like to tailor the therapy together with you and explore which strategies are best for you.
