LISW, 20 years of experience
Many people turn to psychotherapy or counseling for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, painful relationship patterns, feeling stuck, or sometimes just the feeling that something is missing from life. Sometimes we may not have the words to describe our feelings, struggles, or suffering. However, with insight into past relationships and experiences, many people can make progress immediately toward overcoming these difficulties and becoming more effective in their work and relationships. I am a licensed clinician with 20 years of experience helping individuals achieve a more fulfilling life.
No one usually comes to therapy unless they are experiencing difficulties or suffering to some degree. Beginning therapy can also be a very daunting, anxiety-filled process. However, I want to assure you that you are in a safe and supportive space. My goal is to create a therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. I will listen to you without judgment and help you explore your experiences in a safe, judgment-free, and confidential setting. Our first few sessions will involve an evaluation of your concerns and needs. By the end of the evaluation, I will be able to offer you some first impressions of what our work may include.
By facilitating a strong, positive therapeutic relationship, along with an empathetic ear, I have achieved a great deal of success with patients who desire to explore how past relationships, parenting practices, and experiences contribute to present-day symptoms of anxiety and depression.
No one usually comes to therapy unless they are experiencing difficulties or suffering to some degree. Often, we may not have the words to describe our feelings, struggles, or suffering. Individuals who can be self-reflective and are looking to obtain insight into themselves, their feelings, and their behavior are best suited to my practice.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking. In session, you will come to understand how your thoughts affect your feelings and actions. Through CBT, you can unlearn negative thoughts and behaviors and learn to adopt healthier thinking patterns and habits.
Brief Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on finding the psychological roots of emotional suffering such as depression and anxiety. By exploring unconscious processes, early experiences, past relationships, and traumas, we can understand how they influence our present-day feelings and behavior.
