Therapy With Annette
The therapy process can be a life enriching experience. The rewards that can come from therapy include deepened insight and understanding into yourself and your loved ones, increased compassion for yourself and others, a stronger felt sense of self, expanded personal empowerment, more fulfilling relationships, forgiveness, and tranquility.
Life's challenges are full of growth potential. My intention as a therapist is to work with that potential with you, by coming to deeply understand who you are, and appreciate how you have come to face your present circumstances, and the brilliance of the coping strategies you have developed, even if you no longer find those strategies helpful, and it is ultimately your goal to change them.
It is always true that the human organism has developed as it has and functions as it does for the most logical, functional, and most intelligent of reasons. It may just be that those reasons no longer apply, and the coping strategies that once worked so very well no longer do.
My desire is to work with you and support you as you explore your internal workings and your innate strengths, to be your ally and guide as you nurture the greatest desires you have for your life, and the changes you long for. As your therapist, I will accompany you, hand-in-hand, shoulder-to-shoulder, as you explore what can be an arduous process. Though it is work, an attuned therapy process will naturally give rise to right solutions from within you, for you, the client. And this can be very exciting, inspiring, and life affirming. It is my honor to accompany my clients through such a process, and to witness the transformations that inevitably arise.
I will work with you as a team, fostering empowerment in you and in our relationship. I use methods based in neurobiology, attachment theories, somatic and experiential therapy approaches, systems centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and transpersonal theories. I encourage your interests in other forms of healing work such as meditation, yoga, exercise, body work, healthy nutrition, and readings.
My hope is to create an intensely caring, supportive, and trusting relationship with you, and an environment where you can be yourself, free of judgment, where you will be understood and enjoyed.

Right Therapist
A therapist who is right for you will feel right to you. You will feel at ease talking to your therapist, and you will feel understood and validated. You may get uncomfortable with the therapy process at times, but your experience with your therapist should bring you back to a feeling of safety. You may feel comfortable with a particular therapist because of preferences you have based on gender, culture, languages spoken, type of training and education, location, cost, or anything that is important to you. No one therapist is right for everyone, and finding a therapist with whom you feel comfortable is critical. Only you will know if a particular therapist is right for you. So please, do ask me questions about anything you feel you need to know.
