I use the following therapeutic approaches:

• Relational/psychodynamic therapy

• Person-centered/humanistic therapy

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

What does this look like in practice?

My approach to therapy is “integrative”, which means I apply aspects of several evidence-based modalities based on your unique strengths, needs and goals.

I believe that vulnerability and openness in therapy are the first steps toward healing and progress — so I put a lot of care into nurturing our relationship. You can expect active listening and empathizing, and a sincere interest in understanding your experiences. We may also learn about your relationships and consider how experiences or relationships in your past may be impacting your current functioning.

I also utilize different skills-based methods — such as CBT — to help you better understand your thoughts, feelings and behaviors and provide you with the skills to cope with your current circumstances.

I see you as a “whole person,” and acknowledge the impact of external factors on your functioning and well-being. I also act as your advocate, which can include collaborating with other systems or people in your life to ensure we are addressing your full picture.
