Approach to Treatment
I practice in the psychodynamic model of Object Relations that emphasizes the development of empathy—a process of 'knowing with' between client and therapist—to uncover previously unknown or inaccessible sources of frustration and distress. Psychotherapy practiced in this way, in which associations are made of past events impacting those of today, can help you to approach issues related to depression, loss, anxiety, trauma, relationships, and self-esteem with greater self-capacity and potential for change.
My clinical focus extends beyond external behavior; it delves into how meaning is created from within our deeper selves, impacting our perception of the world. This approach is particularly beneficial where being treated as a whole person rather than a collection of problems is both revealing and rewarding. It is a challenging yet fulfilling aspect of mental health treatment and psychotherapy in the Object Relations approach.
There are advantages both to meeting in person and online through a telehealth platform. We can discuss which is most appropriate based on factors of availability, distance and ability to attend in-person treatment.
Please reach out to me with your questions regarding psychodynamic psychotherapy and to discuss availability.
