I wanted to take a moment to discuss the wide range of therapy services I offer, which cater to a diverse array of clientele. With my extensive experience and specialties in various therapeutic techniques, I am well-equipped to assist individuals with different needs and backgrounds. Even though I favor the psychodynamic approaches, I will also apply cognitive-behavioral therapy for those dealing with anxiety and depression, relationship counseling for couples seeking to improve their communication, or mindfulness-based stress reduction for individuals looking to manage stress more effectively, I am here to provide the support and guidance needed. Each client is unique, and I tailor my approach to ensure that everyone receives personalized care that addresses their specific concerns. I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve their mental health goals and improve their overall well-being.
The psychodynamic approach is a theoretical framework in psychology that emphasizes the role of unconscious mental processes, early childhood experiences, and interpersonal relationships in shaping human behavior and personality. I practice from a psychodynamic approach, which means we work together to explore how your past experiences and family of origin dynamics may influence your current feelings and behaviors. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space for our discussions, understanding that these topics can be sensitive. For example, we might discuss how childhood experiences or family relationships shape patterns in your life today. I am here to support you at every turn as many of these issues may be challenging to address.
Existential therapy is a philosophical and humanistic approach to psychotherapy that focuses on understanding and resolving existential questions about life, death, meaning, and purpose. It emphasizes the individual's unique experience and their capacity for self-determination. I utilize this approach whenever necessary which complements the psychodynamic approach at times.
