Philosophy:
I think therapy is about change. Sometimes the change is simply accepting yourself more. Sometimes it's changing your situation. A lot of times it's changing how you work with your situation (relationships, finances, and your own emotions). I love to work with clients who are hungry for change. Together we can figure out HOW to get you that change. Like most therapists, I enjoy working on relationship issues. I probably enjoy more than most working on how to deal with your emotions (how can I best handle my anger? vulnerability?) and on self-acceptance.
I'm relaxed, maybe even casual, in style. I have a background in philosophy and enjoy ideas, but I find the most powerful parts of therapy usually happen when we're very focused on feeling. I really enjoy supporting my clients' creativity. For more, check out www.LeeEdwardsTherapy.com
