When I'm working with a client who is experiencing anxiety, I support them in developing awareness around the triggers and thoughts associated with their symptoms. We work together to empower the client to work through their anxiety without feeling overwhelmed or controlled by it. I focus on both managing the physical symptoms of the anxiety while also working with a client to explore where the anxiety is coming from in hopes of making changes to reduce or eliminate the symptoms present.

Depression can be incredibly isolating and defeating, and my hope when working with someone experiencing depression is to develop a meaningful and supportive relationship with my client so they no longer have to feel alone in it. I work with my client to help them identify the emotions hidden underneath the feelings of numbness and depression, to give these emotions voice and a safe space to be processed.

I believe psychodynamic theory explains the power of the therapy process. By increasing awareness about who we are, how we interact with our world, and why we do the things we do, we discover patterns of relating to ourselves and others and explore the purpose of these patterns. This awareness empowers us to have choices over who we are and how we relate to others. Psychodynamic therapy allows us to get to the root of what is going on to create lasting change.

I believe humanistic therapy is at the core of the therapy relationship. In order for therapy to be effective, a client must feel safe in the therapy space. Every client deserves to feel seen and heard in their therapy sessions. It is important for me as a therapist to work with each client as an individual, to work hard to understand their unique experiences and to meet each client where they are in their journey.

I believe attachment theory is an essential part of understanding humans and how we relate to ourselves and others. Attachment is a powerful connection we experience with others including our relationships with our caregivers, our friends, and our romantic partners. In order to preserve these connections, we develop patterns of relating to ourselves and other. Therapy is a space to understand these patterns and sort through which patterns are working for us and which ones are not.

I believe attachment is one of the most important aspects of understanding humans and how we related to ourselves and others. Attachment describes the profound importance of our relationships with our caregivers, friends and romantic partners. We develop patterns to protect these relationships. Attachment theory allows us to identify these patterns and choose with patterns are healthy for us and which ones we would like to change.
