Therapeutic Style:
Therapy is an experience and journey which can be transformative, powerful, and healing. My clients often describe me as an attentive listener, empathetic, compassionate, professional, engaging, skilled in strategies, and effective in producing results. Treatment plans and goals are tailored to the uniqueness of each individual and their evolving needs. Analysis is viewed from a holistic perspective which incorporates a client’s personal history, attachment styles, relationship patterns, themes, and identity (race, culture, gender, sexuality). I’m integrative in my theoretical style pulling from many schools of thought including Psychodynamic, Family Systems, Humanistic Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness.
