Experience and approach:

In my experience, therapy works best when each of us brings a sense of curiosity about what you have to say (and about what goes unsaid), a willingness to ask meaningful questions, and a commitment to being honest, open, and present.

While the foundation of my clinical work is psychodynamic, meaning a deep exploration of how the events of the past influence the present, I incorporate aspects of Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Short-Term Solutions-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness.
