Is there something about your life that you'd like to see change?

The approach I take is a psychodynamic conversation with the individual(s) about what struggles and conflicts are present in their life. The goal of therapy is to identify the patterns of thinking and feeling, (positive and negative) that a person is using to manage the relationships in their life and to discover ways of adjusting those patterns to create a more positive experience of oneself and others. Therapist and client work together to understand and modify habits of thinking, feeling and behaving that create a stronger sense of self and happiness.

I work with older adolescents and adults to better understand themselves in order to reach their goals. Using both a strengths-based perspective and the teaching of coping skills, I look to help clients with mood, motivation, and relationships in order to lead a more fulfilling life. Therapy is a chance to be heard and understood but also an opportunity to target specific ways to make progress. Many of these ways must be practiced in between sessions, just like learning an instrument. I find that a balance between strategy, encouragement and humor is key to reaching therapeutic goals.
