Treatment Philosophy

People have many different reasons for seeking treatment. Some are experiencing anxiety, depression, low-self esteem, or the effects of trauma. Others are facing challenges in their relationships, dissatisfaction in their careers, or difficulty navigating life transitions. Others are hoping to gain a deeper understanding of themselves. Treatment, whether through therapy, medications, or a combined approach, can provide long-lasting benefits including reduced symptoms, greater life satisfaction, and a better understanding of yourself.

In my practice, I work to gain a nuanced understanding of who you are and your reasons for seeking treatment. I work with you to create an individualized plan which can include individual therapy, couples therapy, and when indicated medications.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

I have particular expertise in psychodynamic therapy. In this form of therapy, you will learn about feelings and thoughts, which were previously out of your awareness, that impact how you feel and how you interact with others. There is a particular focus on understanding how your past influences your current difficulties. Psychodynamic therapy is effective at addressing longstanding and repetitive issues in achieving satisfaction in relationships, career, self-esteem, and other areas of life. As you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, you will be able to make lasting changes in yourself and how you are in the world.
