About My Clients
Many of you have been to therapy before but are facing the same issues which keep reoccurring in your lives. For others, it will be your first time reaching out. Psychodynamic therapy provides an opportunity for profound and lasting change. Unlike some other forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy is designed to help you develop greater self awareness and to resolve deeper underlying issues that may be the cause of symptoms or relationship problems.
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience helping people address their mental health needs and to improve the quality of their lives. I am educated and trained in both psychodynamic and family systems therapy, and I have clinical experience in a number of areas including individual private practice, psychiatric hospitalization, children and family services, behavioral health managed care systems, clinical quality assurance, and drug court services. I use a psychodynamic model to guide you in exploring relationship patterns and coping mechanisms and together, we become aware or conscious of them and the underlying feelings associated with them. Once understood and expressed, you can then consider the opportunities for change and make room for healthier ways of coping and interacting with others.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that real change can happen when you and I work collaboratively, empowering you to make choices that are right for you. I practice psychotherapy from a place of compassion and sensitivity, where together we can explore relationship patterns, past personal histories, life transitions, and coping skills to enable you to experience more satisfaction and joy in your work, relationships, and every day life. I offer a safe environment in which to do all therapeutic work, without judgement, and with respect to individual lifestyles, choices, and values. My work is informed by my education and training, and by my many years of experience in different clinical settings.
