About My Clients
I am interested in getting to know the full 'you', because I firmly believe you are much more than what brings you into therapy and I recognize that the sum total of your lived experience is what makes you 'you'. I do my best to provide a space in which we can collaboratively work together to gain greater understanding and address the root causes of your struggles.
My Background and Approach
I utilize a primarily psychodynamic approach, which looks past the surface level of issues and aims to provide understanding and resolution for long-term sustainable change. Working in this way helps to connect our past experiences and relationships with the thoughts and decisions we make in the present, building a greater sense of control and stability. I also may incorporate several other theoretical models and interventions in order to adapt treatment to best serve you as the client, always remaining flexible and client focused. This could involve more concrete exercises within the context of cognitive-behavioral therapy interventions and solution-focused problem solving or more meditative approaches, such as mindfulness and mentalization strategies.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Beyond information gathering and the diagnostic process, my number one priority from the very first session, is to build the foundations of a trusting and effective working relationship, with you as my client. I am interested in getting to know the full "you", because you are much more than what brings you into therapy. I do my best to provide a space in which we can collaboratively work together to gain greater understanding and address the root causes of your struggles. This, in turn, leads to a greater awareness around opportunities to make different choices and an increased capacity to slow down and act on those things within our control (as well as better tolerating those things outside our control). Therapy allows you to be completely open and honest without fear of judgment, ultimately providing you the capacity to live authentically. I offer a free 15-minute consult; contact me to see if I'm a good fit for you!
