About me
Understanding and creating a new relationship with yourself is the basis of change in relationships with self and others. Therapy can help you to establish this relationship and ultimately define your needs and how to best meet those needs. My approach is holistic and collaborative. I consider past and current goals in addition to your unique way of interacting with your environment. Initially we look at the day to day challenges that may be motivating factors for seeking therapy. At times we might explore past experiences. Looking at earlier attachment relationships from one’s family of origin can help us to gain an understanding of current relational patterns and an opportunity for change. During the therapeutic relationship, we discover different ways of incorporating new behaviors and responses. My work is primarily based on psychodynamic and intersubjective theory.
I utilize different approaches in my practice depending on which is most appropriate for that client in that situation. I incorporate work from Collaborative Therapies, Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Schema Based Therapy. I find there is a place for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and incorporate Gestalt therapy when appropriate. I may also suggest the use of NET - Neuro Emotional Technique(R), a simple way of identifying and removing neurological imbalances related to the physiology of unresolved stress patterns. Most important, and underpinning all therapy, is the simplicity of an authentic and safe relationship. I am passionate about the holistic relationship of mind and body and believe that by listening and using evocative questions, different parts of one’s self become available for change.
