My Approach & Areas of Focus

 

Understanding that the initial therapy process can be daunting, I also know it takes work and energy just to identify that you want/need an outside ear other than your friends or family, or co-workers.  I believe the most important thing in therapy is finding a therapist that you can connect with and trust. Once that relationship is cultivated, the difficult work can start to take place. It is important to me to create a therapeutic setting that is non-judgmental and empathic – a safe and confidential place for us to work together.

 

Therapy is a unique process for each individual. You choose your goals for therapy, and I assist you in successfully working toward meeting them. My approach is an integrated one, inclusive of strengths-based, psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and mindfulness strategies. See below for a more detailed list of examples of challenges clients work through.
