| Practice Description: |
I provide psychotherapy for both adults and adolescents from varied backgrounds who have experienced a wide range of traumas and struggles.
I use a psychodynamic approach to help my clients understand how their past experiences influence their current functioning. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is an essential tool in working with both adults and adolescents. Through building a nonjudgmental relationship, I assist people in communicating and addressing their fears, struggles, and goals.
I have been working with adolescents and their families for 10 years in a variety of settings including agencies, schools, residential programs, family court, and private practice. I believe that a nonjudgmental approach, sincerity, and true empathy and warmth are integral to successfully engaging anyone in therapy. I am a down to earth person with a real love for adolescents. I also believe that adolescence in particular is a time of tremendous opportunity to address both past and current stressors which may have a negative effect on current or future functioning.
I believe that the most important aspect to successfully working with any person is creating a truly safe environment where they feel true acceptance so that they are able to express themselves fully and openly. I am not afraid to use humor, flexibility, and take chances in order to engage and treat my clients.
