I strive to ensure my patients are safe, happy, and healthy in and outside of session.

My Therapy Style

I use a client-centered, Psychodynamic approach that pulls from different theoretical orientations, including, but not limited to, psychoanalysis, behavior, and Cognitive therapy. Looking at patients’ early development, childhood, adolescence, and life experiences helps formulate my understanding of their current psychology and behavior. I believe therapy is the interplay of art and science and I strive to ensure my patients are safe, happy, and healthy in and outside of session.
