I greatly value the opportunity to empower people in their pursuit of well being. You may have a specific concern or a general sense that you wish to move through life differently. I strive to incorporate your values, identities, and unique life circumstances into therapy, working with you as a whole person rather than as a collection of symptoms. I believe that stress and pain are unavoidable parts of life, and that reactions to these can add to distress. In developing and working towards goals together, I consider the quality of our relationship to be a powerful source of healing. Psychotherapy with me can range to and from any of the following, and anywhere in-between: adjusting and coping to life stressors, processing difficult emotions to discover unmet needs, making meaning from painful experiences, utilizing the the therapeutic relationship as a way to grow in relationships - with the self and with others Individuals who choose to work with me tend to be open-minded, interested in learning about themselves, and willing to incorporate feedback about both their strengths and their contribution to life’s difficulties. I seek to offer a space in which to re-experience emotions and practice new ways of relating. I take an integrative approach to therapy and tailor interventions to match your needs, using modern psychodynamic approaches and ACT as my foundation. I would welcome the opportunity to explore your concerns and see if we would work well together.
