Whether you are entering therapy with a clear vision of what you are looking for or are more uncertain of your goals, I will work with you to come up with strategies for growth and the development of optimal emotional health and functioning. I believe that healing occurs through the process of building a trusting therapeutic relationship. By creating a safe and confidential environment I will help you to better understand patterns (which are often outside of your awareness) that lead to emotional distress. Recognition of these patterns empowers you to make choices that can lead to life long change. I do not focus solely on the symptoms of anxiety, depression and interpersonal conflict but also on the issues underlying them. Through thoughtful discussion of your individual experiences and current life stressors, I will assist you in developing personal insight. This approach opens the door to a more meaningful and fulfilling life. I partner with you to develop an approach that best meets your unique needs. I typically integrate several treatment modalities including: psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and an integrated health approach including, but not limited to, mindfulness based therapies.
