About
The guiding philosophy of my practice is to help people understand themselves in the service of personal development within the context of a safe and reliable relationship with another person. I believe that deep and rich self-examination requires rigorous and systematic pursuit on the part of both therapist and patient as they work together. My philosophy places a high value on curiosity, creativity, purposeful aims, tolerance of discomfort, and the strength for meaningful work and satisfying relationships. These are experienced or learned through the medium of the psychotherapeutic relationship. View 5 Photos Internal imagination and the life of the mind are brought into balance with social relatedness and external realities. Therapist and patient endeavor to find verbal language to express the patient’s inner experience, feelings, thoughts, and that for which no words have yet been found. Patients are asked to say everything that occurs to them. No thought, feeling, or fantasy is to be censored or judged. The patient becomes known to self and others. The past is discovered in the present. Awareness leads to insight, and insight leads to change. Please visit www.UpperValleyPsychotherapy.com for more information.
