My approach
My approach to therapy is grounded in psychodynamic traditions, cognitive behavioral therapies, and modern humanistic psychology. I believe that exploring past experiences and relationships is essential for gaining insight into how they may be influencing current behaviors. I also value the utility of learning and implementing practical skills, tools, and coping strategies for overcoming challenges along the way.
In my view, therapy serves as a unique opportunity to engage in a dynamic process of self-exploration to develop a stronger sense of self, foster healthy relationships, break free from unhelpful patterns of behavior, and navigate life with greater ease and effectiveness.
Our work together will integrate evidence-based treatments with personalized guidance and feedback, tailored specifically to your individual needs and goals for therapy. From me, you can expect unwavering support and an approach that is compassionate, direct, and authentic. I want to help you expand your experience, unlock your potential, and transform your life.
