My Background and Approach
My background is in psychodynamic theory, CBT, DBT, Cross-Cultural, Person-Centered, and other theoretical approaches. While my doctorate was in clinical psychology, I completed extra coursework to specialize in family therapy, school psychology, and organizational psychology. I've worked in schools, inpatient, and outpatient settings with clients with brain injuries, addictions, dissociative disorder, Asperger’s, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, life stage issues, self-esteem, and more severe mental illness. I've run children's programs, trained future psychologists, and conducted assessments on children and adults. I use this wide variety of experience to get to help you get to the heart of your issue and create real change in your life. My approach is integrative and collaborative, with a whole person view. I'll provide you with concrete strategies for rapid change, while digging deeper to discover underlying beliefs and harmful patterns so we can co-create a path forward.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Every individual has a unique set of genetics and experiences and every person is valuable and deserving of a life well lived. I'll help you reflect on influences including culture, religion, gender, location, and social situation, so that you can start to make conscious decisions about what to keep or let go of on your journey to a richer life and increased happiness & confidence. One key to the effectiveness of therapy is the relationship itself; it's important to me that you feel accepted for exactly who you are at this moment. As your partner in change, I am always looking beneath the surface to make meaning and connections. While helping you challenge unproductive thoughts and sharing tried and true techniques, I will help you process your past & present experiences so that you can actively choose your path forward and become the author of your own story. This way, you can become more resilient, better able to handle future challenges, and more prepared to rebound from setbacks.
