About My Clients
My clients are extremely varied, which is very exciting. Many are LGBTQ, many are First Gen people of color. They range in age from early 20's to mid-60's. They have different family backgrounds and life experiences, different levels of education and pursue a wide variety of careers. Each is unique. Many suffer from feelings of anxiety, panic and depression as well as significant trauma. Many of you are concerned with self-definition and many are eager to build quality relationships.
My Background and Approach
We are all a combination of our genetic heritage and our life experiences. In our work together, we will examine your life today in the light of your past experiences. We will journey together to help you discover your identity, your purpose, your goals. In doing so, we will reduce levels of depression and anxiety as you move toward a greater balance of work/life priorities. As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, I am aware that we all are works in progress, ever changing and growing. People are dynamic, but sometimes we feel stuck, as if we are not moving at all. It will be my task to help you understand why you're stuck and work with you to be unstuck. It's a very exciting journey that we take together. Change can be difficult and even frightening, but at the same time, it is challenging and exciting. I will work with you to meet the challenge.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a strong believer believer in the importance of communication, verbal and nonverbal. Few of us are mind readers, and most of us need to learn how to express ourselves better. I talk to my friends, my family, my dogs and my cats. I chat with the librarians, the supermarket checkers, the barristas that I meet, the dog rescue people I volunteer with. Not only that: I listen. I listen to what people say, because each has an individual, interesting take on whatever topic is at hand and each individual wants and deserves to be seen and heard as the unique person they are.
