My thoughts on therapy
I view therapy as a collaborative process between client and therapist. I help my clients progress toward their goals in a supportive and affirming environment. Just as each person's needs, experiences, and strengths are unique, I tailor my services to each individual and help him or her uncover past and present factors that may be impacting current functioning. I help my patients feel better and achieve positive change and growth.
​
In sessions, I help my clients understand and identify how historical patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving influence their current functioning, freeing them from unconscious patterns of relating so that they can experience more satisfying, productive, and authentic lives. I work with my clients to help them learn to independently manage symptoms so that functioning improves. In doing so, I utilize a supportive, flexible, and integrative approach, drawing from psychodynamic, interpersonal, and cognitive behavioral techniques. I customize treatment to best serve the unique needs of my clients and, where applicable, their families.
