Areas of Expertise
As a practitioner, I don't believe a single method can fit everyone. Therefore, I have undergone training/certification in multiple therapeutic styles to ensure that I can meet the unique needs of each client.
Modern Psychodynamic Therapy
Modern psychodynamic therapy is a form of talk therapy that focuses on exploring unconscious thoughts and emotions to gain insight into one's behavior and relationships. It is based on the idea that past experiences and relationships can influence current patterns of behavior and that understanding these patterns can lead to personal growth and healing.
Couples Therapy
Modern couples therapy aims to improve the quality of communication, intimacy, respect, and affection between partners, while also addressing any issues that may be hindering the relationship's progress. The ultimate objective is to foster mutual understanding and facilitate a healthy and fulfilling partnership.
Neurobiology & Neuroscience
Living with chronic stress and trauma can be challenging, as it can rewire our brains and affect our daily lives. Understanding these changes and learning how to cope with them can make a significant difference. By exploring the effects of stress and trauma on our brains, we can develop strategies to manage emotions and improve our overall well-being.
My Approach
I believe in taking a proactive and realistic approach to therapy. My goal is to create a collaborative and empathetic relationship with my clients, tailored to meet their needs.I encourage open and honest conversations without judgment.
Therapy doesn't have to take a lifetime. Let's start on the path towards living the life you imagine.
I am deeply curious and love learning. Clients have inspired me to become trained/certified in various therapeutic styles and methods.
