What to expect from therapy

Picture

Dr. Daniel Siegel says,“The central idea of interpersonal neurobiology is that integration is at the heart of well-being.  Integration is the linking of differentiated elements into a functional whole.  With an integrated system, our lives become flexible, adaptive, coherent, energized, and stable.  Without this integration, the flow of our minds moves toward rigidity or chaos.  In this way, trauma can be seen to fundamentally impair integration within an individual, dyad, family, or community.”   

Psychotherapy requires emotional vulnerability, courage, and persistence.  What you can expect from me is a respectful, safe, confidential atmosphere to help you move towards a more integrated life.
