My clinical approach is grounded in ongoing engagement with interdisciplinary scholarly work in the fields of psychology, sociology and psychoanalysis. I work with individuals, couples and groups and have specialized post-doctoral training in psychodynamic group psychotherapy. Focused on the nuances of interpersonal communication and relating, this training deeply informs my attention to relational issues that affect mental health.
My approach to treatment can best be described as relational and psychodynamic. This means that I see relationships as formative and central to individual well-being and emotional health. In addition, it means that I see people as motivated by a variety, and at times, contradictory needs and desires. Understanding relationships between often competing needs/desires and how they affect close relationships can be both transformative and relieving at the same time.
You can expect to feel seen and heard, but more importantly my intention is to help you gain interpersonal and emotional skills that will allow you to see yourself in a different light and gain a new emotionally grounded understanding of what troubles you.
