First and foremost, I am genuinely glad that you, the client, decided to look at my profile and would consider working with me as your therapist. I strive to provide an affirming, warm, and positive space for individuals to learn more about who you are as a person. I believe that I can help you find a balance between useful tools and strategies manage short-term problems, while still exploring long-term solutions to make lasting change in your life.
I strive to work from a client-centered approach. This means that I want to learn more about you first, and from there recognize what has worked well for you, and what you may still be struggling with. I was trained to use psychodynamic psychotherapy, which I believe helps inform treatment and still provide an opportunity for the individual to explore more of who they are.
Goals for treatment in sessions with me vary based on what you are wanting to work on. Whether it's changing the way you interact with a partner or family member, wanting to manage depression or anxiety in a different way, or learning what it means to live your life in a more genuine, meaningful way. My goal for every client I work with is that they feel heard, understood, and that they are leaving our work together in a healthier, more fulfilling place than before they started to work with me.
