What's My Approach to Therapy?
I believe that a person moves in and out of their various life stages with the desire to learn, and sometimes re-learn, life lessons. I work with clients to enhance self-awareness, insight, and skill sets for managing life.
Our therapeutic experience will be a joint effort in reaching your goals! I work with adult couples struggling in their relationships, communication, and living styles over all stages of life. I work with children and teens in their social, emotional, educational, and family systems. I see adults attempting to clarify and reach life goals involving education, work, independence, esteem, and healthy relationships. Learning how to regulate emotion, think flexibly, and develop the ability to better tolerate stress is my goal in empowering clients.

My formal training is in psycho-dynamic therapy and object relations but I also received a specialized cognitive-behavioral training through The University of Pennsylvania and The University of Colorado. I have developed a combination of being able to work with and understand behaviors and thoughts, but also deeper set feelings and patterns.
I have an intuitive combination of understanding how people learn and feel, to empower them to identify the direction in which they need to go. I am extremely collaborative and offer useful feedback while respecting the growth and change process. I offer an extremely nonjudgmental and safe environment with which to explore those areas people often cannot.
My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy
I love working with people as a collaboration in improving emotional regulation, stress tolerance, and mental flexibility. This is because I believe that people are their own agents of change and psychotherapy is but one catalyst towards achieving that. The nonjudgmental environment and validation is a major steps in healing human beings and allowing this to go beyond the office.
