I am a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor with over 30 years of experience. I work with diverse individuals in a wide range of mental health settings. I am a caring and dedicated therapist who often goes the extra mile when it will assist a client. I highly value creative and artistic expression, and I help my clients tap into their strengths and passions. Clients I work with especially well are curious, introspective, willing to dig deep, and interested in becoming more compassionate towards themselves and others. They aren't afraid to look at their feelings in the here-and-now of the therapeutic relationship.
Many of my clients have experienced insecure attachment that has led to repetitive trauma; almost all have felt disconnected or alienated; overwhelmed, confused, or misunderstood. They ultimately want to connect with others and with life, even if at times this may become challenging and painful. And they can appreciate a bit of humor at times.
My approach is strongly rooted in psychodynamic and Jungian psychology (focusing on formative experiences; the role of unconscious wishes, fears, and defenses; dreams; symbolism; and archetypal patterns). However, I am also very well-versed in CBT. I tend to be quite active in sessions and give a lot of feedback.
