About My Clients
My clients are usually artists, people in helping professions or people who have a fundamental sense of being “different” from others in some important way. Though my clients sometimes doubt their strengths when they first come to therapy, I generally find that the people I work with are often thoughtful and caring. They usually come to therapy because they are trapped in a painful circumstance such as deep depression, intense anxiety or repeated difficulties in relationships.
My Background and Approach
People usually contact me after trying to solve a problem on their own for a long time. Frequently, people come to therapy having first reached their limit of what they can improve upon alone. Many enter therapy worried that they're fundamentally unloveable or broken. Although people come to these fears for understandable reasons--often stemming from prior painful experiences--I seldom find that I'm unable to help the people who are brave enough and motivated enough to seek out therapy. My approach with all my clients is collaborative and supportive. I strive to provide a tailored approach--attuned to each person's unique needs, sensitivities, values and challenges. It is common for me to elicit feedback from clients about their satisfaction in therapy and to make changes to the therapy in order to better serve my clients. I have been helping clients experience life with more ease, joy, vitality and balance since 2005. I am trained primarily in psychodynamic psychotherapy.
