For me, the foundations of therapy revolve around three related components: One is making sense of who and how one is, diving (as deep as you want!) into previous and current experiences to get a sense of where one is at and what one is currently facing. Although "self-knowledge" is fantastic, it alone is not enough, and so the second component is to develop strategies that can help move oneself in the desired direction, be it to reduce the negative impact of distress or to map out steps to take to help one move towards one's goals. Finally, therapy can be a microcosm or laboratory of the "real world," We can use the therapeutic space to explore different ways of interacting and engaging.
Moving to a new country and adapting to a new reality can be incredibly challenging and bring stress, daily hassles, existential doubts, and malaise. As an ex-pat and the son of immigrants and having worked for years in the area of migration and identity, I am passionate about working with people experiencing challenges related to living and being in a new environment.
