Therapy helps identify bad or unhealthy behaviors and their purpose.
As a therapist in Woodland Hills, CA. my approach to therapy is considered powerful because I help my clients identify their needs on a deeper level. Since most of the things we do are about trying to get our needs met, being able to identify and communicate those needs can change your view of yourself. Whether you are doing individual therapy or couple's counseling, this results in a higher level of self-compassion and awareness. With that being said, healing starts with getting comfortable with the uncomfortable.
Therapy for Adults Looking to Understand Themselves
For those looking for therapy in Woodland Hills, CA., keep in mind that too often individuals find a therapist to have someone “fix” or “stop” behaviors. While other therapists focus on offering a tool-based approach to counseling, my approach focuses more on the reflective part of therapy. As much as we want to find the quick fix, my approach to individual and couple's counseling comes from wanting to help you figure out “WHY” you do what you do, rather than just TELLING you what to do to stop the behavior. Understanding the “WHY”, opens the door to creating compassion for yourself in a healthy and productive way.
A Safe Space to Strengthen Your Relationship
My goal, for individual and couple's therapy, is to provide a safe space where I will meet you emotionally and help you meet yourself and each other in a safe space. I bring a direct approach that helps hold you accountable to your goals, your feelings, your words and each other. The intention of individual therapy and couples therapy is to help you communicate what is not being said.
