My clients are those who struggle with relationships, managing their emotions, illnesses or past experiences who are looking to understand their needs, how to communicate them to others, and how to become their most authentic, satisfied self. If you find that you are unable to let go of past pain and it is keeping you from living the life you desire, or that your relationships are not as fulfilling as you want them to me, I can help. If you find yourself not living the authentic life that you desire and want to learn how to communicate openly and ask and get what you need for others, I can help.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I work with clients to identify their current coping skills and the influence of past experiences and relationships on their ability to cope with life and be the best person they can be for their own peace and happiness and for those they are in relationships with. I believe in the power of attachment to others with a balance of individuation.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use both CBT skills and relational psychodynamic methods to explore distorted thinking and identify the source of that thinking that leads to negative emotions and/or behavior.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe my greatest strength as a therapist is to meet the client where they are, accepting that they are the expert in their lives. I accept all perceptions of one's experiences as valid and respect everyone's entitlement to their own beliefs, values and feelings.
