What is True Self Therapy?
Therapy is personalized for each person I meet with. We will talk about what you want from therapy, what’s difficult in your life, and move forward together mixing my expertise with your knowledge of yourself. I will offer context to the stories of your life, helping to find orientation amidst the struggle.
My patients gain a deeper understanding of themselves, what they truly want, and how to live authentically in the world. This often involves facing stories of confusion, harm, and marginalization. We untangle what used to feel simple, and now feels like maybe it wasn’t what we thought it was. It’s invigorating to reclaim ourselves from the narratives of dominant culture. Therapy also involves claiming and celebrating the parts of you that are already strong and well! You might find much of yourself is already right where it belongs.
Therapy Details
If you’re familiar with therapy jargon, I practice relational, psychodynamic, somatic, internal family systems therapy. I believe every part of you is doing your best to meet your needs, and some parts are stuck doing things that used to be crucial, and now feel hindering. Every piece of your identity holds meaning. By bringing as much ‘you’ as possible to the conversation, we can learn to become a fuller, better cared for self. The self you sense you can, and want, to be.
Expect therapy with me to be more process and less assignment. When we’re working with the tender and vulnerable parts of ourselves, patience is more useful than urgency. We can make a place where there is time and space for all of you.
