I like to view psychotherapy and the therapeutic relationship as having a personal trainer for your emotional well being and personal life. It can teach relational skills and promote healing. It requires a commitment to yourself and serves as an investment. The return on that investment can be achieving goals, growth, and emotional satisfaction. There are many reasons someone may seek out a therapist, regardless of those reasons my goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where we can build a trusting therapeutic relationship that allows for healing and growth. I am a Licensed Psychotherapist with over 25 years of clinical experience specializing in grief and loss, trauma, PTSD, addiction, mood disorders, suicidal ideation and crisis intervention. I enjoy working with diverse cliental across all stages of life.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I have practiced using Relational and Psychodynamic approaches primarily amongst other therapeutic techniques.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
The space that I enter into with another human being, I consider to be sacred. I treat it as such. I am curious and have compassion for the individual that I work with. Each person comes into this relationship with their own set of experiences. I recognize this, and have respect it.
