LMFT, 6 years of experience
Congratulations on taking this forward step towards counseling. I understand how difficult it can be searching and finding a therapist that is a good fit. That's why in my practice I prioritize building a trustful and deep working relationship with my clients. From this foundation, we may explore your difficulties, target stressors, and dive into your psyche to untangle knots so you can be your best self. As Carl Jung said "the privilege of a lifetime is to become who you really are."
In our first session together, we'll start with introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I completed a three year post-graduate clinical associateship at the world renowned C. G. Jung Institute where I specialized in depth psychotherapy. Depth therapy is the exploration of the fundamental elements of the mind and a time tested process of growth and transformation through long-term talk therapy. I also trained in the method of integrating short-term methods like CBT, ACT, and DBT with psychoanalytic psychotherapy for ultra specialized treatment for the full range of issues that clients experience.
My clients want to improve, but don't yet have the abilities needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious. I especially enjoy working with culturally diverse individuals and those who have previously found therapy unhelpful.
Jungian therapy delves into the unconscious mind, using techniques like free association and dream analysis to uncover deeper meanings and personal insights. This approach helps clients connect with their true selves, addressing internal conflicts and guiding them towards a more balanced and fulfilling life.

CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping negative or unhelpful thought patterns that can lead to emotional distress and problematic behaviors. It provides practical strategies and exercises to help individuals manage stress, anxiety, and depression by changing how they think and respond to situations.
ACT encourages individuals to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or avoiding them, fostering a more compassionate relationship with oneself. This therapy emphasizes identifying and committing to personal values, helping individuals take meaningful actions that align with what truly matters to them.

Very disappointing experience. Purports to practice in a way that prioritizes developing a trusting relationship with the client, yet will not answer even basic questions asking for clarification on the therapy process and just turns the question back on the client with non-answers like, “What do you think I want you to talk about?” Then tells the client their issues are not suited to work on in therapy and “therapy isn’t a panacea” when they remain uncertain about why he finds what they’ve already shared insufficient. Told me in a disrespectful tone today that we could wrap up the session early because he knew I was eager to move on with my day, despite me never saying anything to that effect. I had an appointment with my PCP afterwards, and the PCP recommended therapy for the anxiety I was experiencing. He was stunned to hear the therapist I had been seeing told me my concerns weren’t suited for therapy.
