About My Clients
Everyone goes through life writing their own reproductive story: how they might see themselves as a parent (or not); how many kids they might want; and what their family will look like. I work with individuals and couples of all gender identities and sexualities to help build their families, especially when their story hits a detour. I believe in being authentic and offering connection as well as compassion to my clients, as well as skills or guidance in navigating these difficult waters.
My Background and Approach
I trained from a psychodynamic perspective from the George Washington University (that's the Freud stuff) but realized early on that it wasn't the right approach for all people or situations. I consider myself to be integrative --using whatever modalities or tools that might fit the occasion. Treatment can range from being short-term to long-term. I recognize at the onset that I'm not the right "fit" for everyone--nor do I expect to be--and I'm happy to help you find someone else if I'm not quite right in my style for you. I am seen as warm and caring as well as invested in my clients. Therapy is not a "one-size fits all" kind of approach, as we each bring a context with us to the struggles we encounter. I work within your context to assist in growth and change. I am communicative and engaged in the work we do, yet know the limitations in where I can impact change. I am a certified EMDR clinician and a consultant-in-training.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that every person's journey is their own and I am fortunate to walk part of the path with them for however brief that might be. I view you as the expert on yourself, and I bring to the table knowledge about psychology and reproductive health.
