Process:

I typically work within a Psychodynamic or relationship based approach. My clients enter into a longterm ongoing therapeutic relationship with me and we navigate any pressing concerns. Once the relationship is established, my clients are happy to drift in and out of therapy as life provides ups and downs.  It is beneficial to have this structure in place for when unexpected events happen, my clients and I can get right to work without going through the early phases of therapy intake.  Knowing my clients better and better over the years helps me provide higher quality insight during our time together. 

“The unexamined life is not worth living.”
​-Socrates

People who take the time to explore life and commit to therapy along the way have higher self-esteem and are more persevering and realistic. This path to identity is associated with a host of positive outcomes, including a clearer sense of self, greater life satisfaction, better stress management, stronger reasoning, and resistance to conformity.

When I encounter clients who are seeking love or career satisfaction, we start exploring their values and life dreams to identify what they want. Together we will cast a vision for their life with short and long term goals.

Many have already seen several chapters of their life, and now look to develop a deeper more comprehensive picture of what has already happened.  Organizing and understanding one’s life is the process my clients seek to find peace and forgiveness for themselves and others. It also can allow them to be wonderfully authentic in the present moment and to move forward each day.

By providing an unconditionally positive space, I encourage my clients to come in and feel comfortable being themselves. There are no taboo topics in my office, let me know what your concerns are. Some of my clients are still searching for their true self identity, I look forward to helping them explore the possibilities. 

Whether you need to look forward, backwards or within, I am able to join you on a healing journey.
