My Approach to Helping

I believe that symptoms are meaningful, even if things are very painful for you. Our hard experiences are messages for us to carefully listen to. I think the main task of therapy is to relate differently to ourselves and our experience. This is very challenging, but very profound.

I offer depth oriented psychodynamic individual counseling, which has been shown to be helpful for people suffering from depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and trauma. I consider you the expert on your experience, and will provide a warm, nonjudgmental space for you to explore your experience in.

My background includes in-depth training in a variety of counseling techniques. I have experience teaching specialized coping techniques to deal with impulse control and regulation of thoughts and feelings
