My Approach

My goal as a psychotherapist is to help you understand your difficulties and empower you to live life to your greatest capacity. My style is inseparable from who I am: warm, kind, light-hearted, and practical. These personal qualities help me create a safe, non-judgmental, and trusting therapeutic atmosphere where you can freely express yourself.

I value the process of getting to know you as fully as possible. You can expect me to be active, curious, and supportive. I will focus on your answers and give direct feedback, often thinking out loud to share my feelings and insights with you in real time.

In my experience, the therapeutic relationship is a powerful and active agent for change. My sessions combine warmth with problem solving, offering a nuance down to earth grasp of conscious and unconscious, and the complex factors that contribute to life’s challenges.

The Therapeutic Process

1

Free Consultation

We connect for a quick 15-minute phone call to introduce ourselves and discuss the general overview of your therapeutic goals. This call also serves as your opportunity to ask questions and gauge patient-provider compatibility.

2

50-Minute Therapy Sessions

I customize treatment plans to honor individual patient needs and typically recommend weekly appointments. If you find yourself in crisis, emergency sessions are also available upon request.

3

Real-World Application

My patients receive take-home exercises and documentation strategies that build upon the insights gained during our sessions. Together, we pay close attention to the life experiences that evoke undesirable emotional responses and address those moments in subsequent sessions.

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.”

– Proust
