My Therapeutic Approach
I believe that "what has been broken in relationship must be healed in relationship." (unattributed) I see my role as therapist to be a person in your life who listens with curiosity and compassion, while honestly reflecting what may be standing in your way. My hope is to walk along side you to support the journey you are on.
My training and experience are intentionally eclectic. I find this serves my clients well, and keeps things interesting for me! I utilize CBT, DBT, EMDR, narrative therapy, as well as elements of psychodynamic, relational, family systems, and internal family systems approaches. I see people largely from an attachment perspective - that we are all fundamentally shaped by the relationships we have been in and how those interact with our inherent nature.
It's a courageous step to begin the journey of understanding and change. It would be my honor to accompany you.
I am also a clinical supervisor, and supervise 2 therapists-in-training. You may contact them directly or reach them through me if you are interested in exploring work with them.
