Introduction
As a therapist, I operate from an existential-humanistic foundation with an integrative approach to the tools we’ll use to address the treatment goals arrived at through our collaboration. To paraphrase Socrates, a life unexamined is a life unlived. To him, identifying and acknowledging the limitations in our knowledge was a necessary first step on the journey to true knowledge. In this process, Socrates was demonstrating that a life examined is a life well lived. Understanding ourselves through therapeutic exploration allows us to put words to what we see, think, and feel. With those words can come the power to motivate ourselves, make healthier decision, and to grow.
