I utilize a psychodynamic approach, with a person-centered focus. As your therapist my priority will always be to create a safe environment that encourages your autonomy and wellness.

I have an eclectic approach; I use a lot of cognitive behavioral methods (examine unhelpful thinking habits) combined with psychodynamic exploration (family history) to make connections to current difficulties. I also tend to use humor.
