Exploring your life in partnership with a caring, dedicated professional can be a remarkable gift to yourself. I believe it is one of the best ways to create positive, lasting change in your life. I work with individuals on many of the issues which bring people to therapy: depression, anxiety, stress, grief, substance abuse, relationship and work issues, creative blocks, sexual identity, trauma, and the loss of meaning and purpose in life.
Depending on your needs and interests, I will be drawing from different modalities, but at the foundation of a successful therapy is a relationship based on trust and respect. Every person is unique but all human beings are alike in that we are deeply social, relational beings.
Our psychological wounds so often occur in relationship to others – or sometimes from the lack thereof. This is also where the healing lies: in a trusting and nurturing relationship with a therapist, inner defenses can soften – and underlying wounds and trauma can emerge and be tended to. I strive to provide a safe, therapeutic environment where this type of experience can happen.
