My therapeutic orientation is existential in nature and focused on meeting your needs while finding meaning in your life. I integrate complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a personalized treatment. My approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. With compassion and understanding, I work with you to help you build on your strengths and attain personal growth.
I believe that change takes place after exploration of the uncertainty that accompanies it. By providing you with a confidential setting to explore your thoughts and feelings, we lay the foundation to facilitate the change and relief from distress you are seeking in therapy. I like to focus my work in the here-and-now as I recognize the importance of interpersonal relationships and providing positive support to my clients.
I have been able to help clients with a wide variety of issues. Some of the common reasons clients come seeking help are: Difficult life circumstances (no pathology here, just life being hard and clients needing a safe place to discuss the situation). Grief & Loss Divorce, infidelity, and/or unhappiness in current relationship Mood Disorders Depression Bipolar Disorder Anxiety Disorders Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (clients wanting to process past trauma regardless of whether it manifested as PTSD or not!) Chronic Pain Substance Addiction Self-esteem Job Satisfaction & Career Issues Stress Management Need of positive support in life
