I work with adults facing a variety of challenges who desire to make meaningful changes in the ways they understand and work with emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. I draw from psychodynamic and existential perspectives and use an empathic, relationship-based approach to tailor our therapy process to your unique needs, circumstances, and goals. By looking together intensively at the historic roots of problems, insights can develop into ways that old solutions get perpetuated in the present and new possibilities for more satisfying ways of being can emerge.
My approach is to listen with you for the deeper underlying story of how your life and patterns of being have developed. In my experience, exploring the history and context in which the issues first emerged with an empathic other can help uncover the unconscious conflicts that keep us stuck and give us freedom to make choices that better reflect who we are.
My goal is to create a collaborative relationship with you built on trust. The quality of this relationship is essential as we become co-explorers of the facts of your life. If you sense we would make a good therapeutic team, please reach out and let's connect. I am happy to answer questions by email or to set up a free 20 minute phone consultation with you.
