About My Clients
I work with a wide spectrum of patients that range from adolescent though geriatric populations who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, or relationship issues. I specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ community/.
My Background and Approach
Our earliest attachments form the templates for our subsequent relationships. As a result, we repeat patterns in our relationships throughout our lives. Because they are present from the beginning, our patterns may be as invisible to us as water to a fish. Yet they shape our destinies. Therapy entails a relationship between a therapist and patient. Patients bring their templates and patterns into this relationship. It is my goal to enter the gravitational field of patients’ problematic relationship patterns, experiencing and participating in them. Through participation in these patterns, I can help my patients understand and rework them. I know that the decision to seek treatment to work through mental health/substance abuse issues is a big one, and I am happy to support you by answering any questions that you might have. I work with clients of all ages, sexual orientations, and have specific experience working with HIV related issues.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My primarily clinical influence is related to people who are having difficulty developing and or maintaining significant relationships, depression, anxiety, low self esteem, feelings of being unlovable, and feelings of "getting by" rather than thriving. My goal is to help people take control of the quality of their emotional lives. I work with adults in their 20's on, female, male, straight and gay. I am a big believer a holistic approach to well-being that includes exercise, good sleeping and eating habits and overall emotional well-being.
