About My Clients
Are you struggling with aligning your life activities with your values and goals? Do you find yourself feeling stuck in unfulfilling relationships? It’s vital to acknowledge and face your current situation and the feelings you have about it in order to make change happen, and psychotherapy provides space for this. We'll begin by talking about your goals for therapy, and we'll collaborate on a plan for our work together.
My Background and Approach
You can expect to develop more perspective and self-compassion, find a new capacity to navigate difficult feelings, and uncover and work towards freedom from habitual thought patterns. I am curious by nature, and I’d love to help you explore your particular individuality and its connection with your life history and desires. Through our work together, you’ll gain new insight and appreciation for who you are as you grow in expressing previously unspoken parts of yourself. I’ll ask a lot of questions in our conversations, but also hold space for you to discover your own thoughts and speak them. It can be difficult to begin a journey of self-discovery. But with the right support, the work finds its rhythm, and improvements can come surprisingly quickly. Please contact me for a free telephone consultation, and we can discuss where we might start our work together.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My approach is guided by the belief that therapeutic presence is essential for positive change, and that change is possible. I have specialized training in existential/psychoanalytic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and EMDR. I help my clients uncover the root causes of current problems in order to live lives of purpose and happiness, moment to moment. Experiences in groups are uniquely powerful ways to move towards change, especially for clients struggling with complex relational dynamics that may be difficult to treat in individual therapy. Since 2013, I have been actively training in group therapy with the American Group Psychotherapy Association and the Center for Group Studies in New York. I help my clients to recognize previously unacknowledged ways that others may experience them, and to create new language for their experiences.
