Making a decision to start your therapy can be an intimidating task. It can be a challenge to find the right therapist that fits your needs and that you are comfortable with. My approach is gentle but direct and I place importance on honesty and accountability. My work is focused on addressing current thoughts and behaviors through underlying issues as well as exploring how past experiences affect you and your current relationships.
During our session, I work from a psychodynamic perspective while including Existential interventions, Cognitive Behavioral Theory, and Family Systems concepts. My goal is to provide a safe space that facilitates change and growth, and a place that encourages healing. My hope is to leave you with a set of skills that will better serve you in dealing with current life events and relationships.
