I believe that it is important as a psychotherapist to approach the work from a place of groundedness in my perspective and orientation, while being flexible enough to understand where you as the client are coming from and what your individual needs are. I largely work from an analytically-based relational psychotherapy perspective, though believe it is useful and necessary to draw from different treatment models to come up with a plan together with my clients that feels constructive and valuable. I work hard to find a balance between meeting my clients where they are at emotionally, and listening closely for unconscious material that may be impacting their lives in counter-productive, emotionally painful, or even harmful ways. In addition, I come from a social justice and philosophy background which very much impacts my clinical perspective and approach with clients. I understand and have deep respect for the difficult and vulnerable place people can be in when they are searching for a therapist, and encourage people interested by my approach to call with any questions to see whether we'd be a good fit.
