I am a warm, energetic, and caring psychotherapist that will work very hard with you to help resolve the problems and issues that have brought you to therapy. I feel very privileged to do the work that I do and strive to help individuals, couples, and families find more balance and harmony in their lives. I typically find ways to form strong therapeutic alliances with my clients–including difficult children and adolescents. I am genuinely interested in the people I work with and in their well-being. I love diversity and am culturally sensitive.
I am a solution-focused therapist which means that I am focused on the positives and building upon your strengths. It is a positive, optimistic and nonjudgmental orientation.
I use a holistic approach to therapy–humans are physical, spiritual, psychological/cognitive, social, and emotional beings. A holistic approach considers how you are in all aspects of your life. I will work with your physician(s) and other treatment providers to ensure you receive coordinated and comprehensive health care.
I have a great deal of training in Jungian therapy, psychoanalysis, and psychodynamic Depth psychology which can be helpful to gain insight to ourselves and what underlies long-term problematic behavior, negative patterns of interaction, and habits that have become dysfunctional. An example of this type of therapy would be Dream Analysis and Interpretation. It’s not only fun, but very useful in learning more about oneself and for resolving long-standing issues. Understanding one’s family history and the impact it has had upon you as an individual is also helpful.
Harm Reduction is an approach I utilize in many aspects of my work to reduce negative behavioral patterns and harmful habits while encouraging and building upon healthy behaviors and setting realistic, attainable goals. Goal-setting is always a collaborative effort.
