My Background and Approach
I tend to utilize a psychodynamic orientation, which means that I use a framework that proposes that, over time, we are made up of all the stories that we tell ourselves; from our interplay with others across relationships, to how we react to the world at large, and to what we believe about ourselves without awareness. Therefore, therapy becomes a means of translating and understanding these narratives and then empowering individuals to realize that such stories are not necessarily set in stone. In fact, the more insight one gains over time, the more conscious one is of their patterns of thoughts and actions which in turn increase the likelihood of gaining a more holistic/realistic understanding of oneself.
