About My Clients
Regardless of the specific issues they may struggle with, my ideal patients exhibit honesty about their story, their experiences, and their feelings and thoughts in session. They show curiosity about what unfolds in their life, their dreams and fantasies, and in their sessions with me. And they are able to play with different ideas, perspectives, interpretations, meanings, and narratives about their experiences.
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas, and have obtained a post-graudate certificate in Relational Psychodynamic Therapy from the Contemporary Psychodynamic Institute. In my therapy, I join patients in exploring their past and current experiences, dreams and fantasies, thoughts and feelings. I work within the here-and-now of our relationship, and what unfolds between us, to help shed light on unconscious parts of self that are impacting my patients' day to day life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am convinced that we are born into relationship, we are wounded in relationship, and we are healed in relationship. We are all born with a hardwire need for connection. Our current struggles in life are often related to our deep-seeded desire to connect with others, and past frustrations of that desire. I believe that disconnection, isolation, and alienation in relationships result in our being disconnected with vital aspects of our selves, and that a safe and honest relationship is required in order to retrieve those aspects. By connecting with others, we are able to connect with different aspects of our selves.
