Approach to Treatment

I practice talk therapy in the psychodynamic Object Relations model which focuses on the development of empathy, or 'knowing with,' between client and therapist.  This is in order to uncover previously unknown or inaccessible sources of frustration and distress.  So rather than as an advice-giving or unresponsive therapist, I treat clients with attentiveness to understand the ways in which feelings, events and meanings create behavior.  

In this way, psychotherapy will help to approach issues of depression, loss, anxiety, trauma, relationships, and self-esteem with greater self capacity and potential for change.  This approach is particularly beneficial in experiencing one's self as a whole person rather than a collection of problems which is challenging, revealing and rewarding.  

We may meet in person and by remotely by telehealth platform, depending on the ability and availability that you have.
