With over a decade of clinical experience in this approach, Existential Therapy has become one of the pillars of my practice. My work often involves helping clients navigate complex issues related to identity, purpose, and life stages. This orientation allows us to explore fundamental questions about existence, meaning, and personal choice. It's particularly effective for individuals grappling with existential concerns or those looking for more authentic and meaningful ways to live their lives.

Psychodynamic Therapy has been a cornerstone of my practice going back to my training and education. Over the years, I've been involved in peer supervision, conferences, and trainings focusing on psychodynamic approaches. Furthermore, I've received ongoing supervision from a psychodynamically-informed lens, which has deepened my effectiveness in exploring underlying psychological patterns and motivations effectively with my clients.

Relational Therapy has profoundly influenced my practice, serving as one of the most foundational and consequential influences on my work with clients. With over a decade of clinical experience, my approach has been significantly enriched by intensive individual supervision from a respected and highly seasoned expert in the field.

Anxiety can present in many ways, and understanding the specific nature and role of anxiety is a prerequisite for further work to be helpful. Anxiety is a feature that can arise on its own or in connection with other life problems. Understanding the nuances of anxiety and panic - and the emotional and neuropsychological mechanisms involved - helps inform a plan of treatment that focuses best on the actual situations and/or symptoms that are causing distress.

Depression has many presentations; it can be a symptom of other difficulties or it can be a standalone condition. The degrees of severity also vary widely, from a dull, persistent sadness to paralyzing, unbearable pain. The pain caused by depression and similar symptoms is the emotional version of physical pain - it can be a stubbed toe or an advanced disease, so the presence of the symptom itself isn't as helpful without the full context of how this is manifesting for the client.

Depression has many presentations; it can be a symptom of other difficulties or it can be a standalone condition. Its severity can widely vary, from a dull, persistent sadness to paralyzing, unbearable emotional pain. Just as physical pain can be present in varieties from a stubbed toe to severe burns, the full context how the depression is manifesting for the client is the first and most important step in working towards healing.
