About My Clients
Struggling does not mean that we are broken. I believe that there is nothing more fulfilling than making a connection that costs us a little bit of vulnerability but leaves both of us feeling a brighter sense of hope. I also believe that our actions can carry us out of whatever rut that life may have left us in and that persisting in simple changes can help us get unstuck. There may be things about yourself that you can learn from and resolve.
My Background and Approach
My approach melds various approaches, a client-centered base, techniques from CBT, DBT, IPT, gestalt, and existential therapies, trauma-focused therapy, and a healthy dose of compassion. Much of our work will consist of coming to understand how the physical, mental, emotional, and social parts of you interact and often conflict with each other, then helping them learn to cooperate.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that each of us has immense, intrinsic worth that we often do not recognize and that we do not always live up to. At the core of us, beneath whatever superficial characteristics we may have been born with or given, is the potential to improve ourselves and connect with others in a mutually fulfilling way. I believe that we are indelibly and irrevocably connected with others, that we are family, and that our behavior towards others and ourselves should be guided by empathy and encouragement.
