I believe that psychotherapy should feel supportive and collaborative. It believe it is essential for therapy to work towards his client’s specific goals, and that the process should feel like we are working as a team.
I use an integrative approach of psychodynamic, cognitive, and positive psychologies to help clients decrease distress and suffering while increasing personal fulfillment and happiness. I believe therapy should not only consider how our past informs our present-day experiences, but also how our hopes for the future can be brought into reach
I have had the pleasure of working with an incredible range of clients from across the globe. I have worked with many different clinical presentations, including trauma, anxiety, panic, depression, and feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness. I have also worked with many creative professionals who are struggling in their career.
As your therapist, I want to make sure you feel heard and understood. For me, a trusting relationship that is always working in the client’s best interests is essential. From there, I aim to work closely with my clients to frame an understanding of their past experiences while also developing helpful and empowering strategies for the future.
