With over 15 years of experience as a Psychologist, I have an eclectic approach to treatment, but tend to draw from relational and cognitive behavioral approaches in order to design a specialized treatment plan based on your unique needs.
Discuss the issues that brought you into therapy and the changes you would like to see in your life and the best ways to reach those goals. We will work at a pace that is comfortable for you and sometimes I will simply be a listening ear.

I am very eclectic implementing a mix of psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and positive psychology techniques, I believe one approach does not work with all. I tailor-make treatment to meet the needs of each individual client or couple.
Talk about out the key concerns you have, notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We will develop a plan individualized for you to decrease depression, anxiety or work through specific problems so that you can feel like yourself again.

I know starting therapy isn't easy so I try to make it as comfortable as possible by being supportive and validating while you share your story. Then we will work together to determine your priorities and make sure we are on the same page.
Work to identify strategies and techniques that can begin to offer some relief. We will also begin to alter problematic/less functional narratives that negatively impact your life. Self-compassion is a skill that I work on with almost every client.

It is my responsibility to pay attention to the big picture- noting common themes that come up. Often concerns that we have present differently across different domains (work, home, etc.) but the emotional underpinnings and impact can be similar.
Find the things you're struggling with and learn new ways to cope with life.

I believe trust is the foundation of everything. My main job as a therapist is to help you build trust in me and the process. If you don't trust me, then you won't tell me very much. If you don't tell me much, we won't get much accomplished.
