Therapy is about building meaningful relationships. These bonds develop when participants are fully present, engaged, and invested in the clinical work. It is most beneficial when clients and therapists work collaboratively to evaluate, challenge, and reconstruct systems-- all of which lead to a healthier and more fulfilling life. My success in providing treatment comes from my honesty and genuine interest in who my clients are and what motivates them.  Clients respond well to my sense of humor and the secure space I provide to feel comfortable in disclosing their personal issues of concern.

I adhere to an individually tailored psychodynamic treatment modality, trauma informed therapy and a relational approach, all of which place a strong emphasis on building relationships and trusting bonds. Through the therapeutic process of establishing and exploring boundaries, we can better understand and resolve experienced conflicts and traumas holding us back. 

Relationships and associated experiences often reveal themselves in the daily decisions we make and our day-to-day interactions with others.  Distress arising from negative associations, particularly those in our formative years, can disrupt our perception of relationships, hampering trust and the bonding process.  This becomes the model for world navigation and conflict resolution.  It is all too often that we find ourselves bound to the past, recreating negative relationships throughout our lives.  These patterns lead to frustration and dissatisfaction, resulting in the emergence of anxiety, depression and unhealthy coping skills.  With the solidified partnership between the client and therapist, the work done in the session will become reflexive and will integrate itself beyond the therapeutic space. Through insight development a better understanding of such patterns will ultimately aid in establishing healthier life choices.  Relationships will grow and feel more substantial.
