In my evolving professional life over the last 14 years, I have combined therapeutic orientations that focus on addressing patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that lend insight and understanding to one’s present challenges or distress. When we were younger, how we learned to respond to the world around us might have had tremendous benefit to help us survive and move forward; now as adults, one may feel limited by repetitive emotional responses or thought processes and inflexible copying styles. Seeking therapy now may come at a time in your life when your relationships are struggling or you may feel a need for change.
I have found that a customized approach to therapy for each individual works best, and I often blend psychodynamic, cognitive, and relational psychology theories and approaches to help individuals achieve their goals in therapy.
We might be a good fit in therapy if you are experiencing: Relationship difficulties; Feeling overwhelmed; Later in life identification with, or diagnosis of, ADHD, and/or identification with neurodivergent traits; Living with highly sensitive traits; Spiritual and existential questions; Struggling with loss; or family difficulties.
