Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Have you worked hard to reach your life and career goals, yet still feel unsatisfied? Despite many accomplishments, do you often feel not good enough? Would you like your relationships to feel closer and more fulfilling? Have you tried various techniques to create change but continue to feel something is fundamentally missing? Thanks to cutting edge breakthroughs in neuroscience, and deeper insights regarding the impact of trauma, we now have a better understanding than ever before into the realm of human emotional and psychological well-being. Rather than focusing solely on behaviors and symptoms, I work with people to create a collaborative therapeutic relationship, and together, we explore the deep, complex, and often unconscious patterns that may be driving the various symptoms. This depth oriented approach helps to support a therapeutic process designed to promote deeper healing. My approach to therapy emphasizes compassion, respect, curiosity, and collaboration. I see my role not as an expert offering a one size fits all solution to resolve symptoms, but as an active partner, working together with my clients to explore what it is they are most wanting for themselves and their lives.
