Therapeutic Approach
I help people identify the origins of their emotional pain and recognize their habitual ways of being that no longer serve them.
I use an integrative approach, incorporating aspects of humanistic, emotion-focused, and contemporary psychodynamic therapies. The work of therapy can help people restore, or perhaps find for the first time, a sense of peace within themselves and a secure bond with their partners.
In the safe and supportive space of my office, clients explore and make sense of aspects of themselves and their lives not previously well understood. As the work of therapy generates greater and greater self-awareness, clients learn that change is possible, that conflict and distance can give way to connection, and that pain can be transformed into growth.
