About My Clients

My education and experience in the integrative health realm greatly guide my comprehensive approach to therapy. I unequivocally believe that therapy must encompass more than symptom. The core of my work is figuring out and addressing, collaboratively, the underlying cause(s). Within our therapeutic relationship, we will work holistically and focus on uncovering the deeper layers—what is beneath the symptoms—which is intrinsically healing and lasting, and a catalyst for change.

My Background and Approach

My clinical approach is multi-disciplinary and rooted in psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I also have a background in integrative health and wellness, which can contribute to a more in-depth perspective on treatment. In addition, my work is informed by the belief and the research that the essence of therapy is the relationship between the client and the therapist. It is this relationship that can encourage true and thorough transformation. My style is collaborative, genuine, intuitive, direct, and non-judgemental, and I encourage clients to be true to themselves and transparent. Although treatment is based on an individual's needs and goals, principle themes in all treatment are to help one regain one’s confidence and strength and to reinforce one’s resiliency and self-reliance.
