In practice I use a pragmatic, results-oriented approach and am not tethered to one particular psychoanalytic modality. Rather, recognizing each patient has unique needs, I draw from many therapeutic approaches that best fit each patient.

The goal is bridging the gap and finding the most productive pathway between where clients are and where they want to be.

I have a holistic view in healing and deeply value the client-therapist relationship. Creativity is the true essence of psychotherapy. I value clients partnership in their healing and invite them to explore their inner insight and creativity along with my therapeutic guidance. I draw from clinical approaches such as CBT, culturally sensitive, eclectic, integrative, jungian, humanistic, transpersonal, strength based and gestalt. My experience has brought me to see valuable psychotherapy as when the client becomes aware that their presenting problem can be healed by adopting and integrating positive and healthy perceptions and actions.

Making the decision to pursue therapy can be a complex one. Whether it's better understanding your relationship with substances, tolerating a difficult life situation, striving for balance, or if the goal is self-exploration, the journey of psychotherapy can be an opportunity to grow. Building strengths in a safe and supportive partnership can pave way towards living a more satisfying life.

For all the reasons people come to seek help, learning to inhabit one's body more fully, with mindful awareness of the sensations and messages they are attempting to show us, greatly enhances the effectiveness in achieving one's goals. We work to live as fully and genuinely in the present as possible, while effectively communicating our thoughts, feelings and sensations based on knowledge of oneself and other. Our cellular memory brings to light the issues we are challenged with and greatly enhances our ability to sense and make choices about the long-held habit patterns that hurt ourselves and others.
