Therapist Overview
I enjoy working with a wide variety of people. Ideally, my patients are those willing to to invest in an ongoing treatment that involves becoming curious about their histories, the interaction between their inner and outer worlds, and the influence all have on motivation and behavior. The ability to recognize that we all play a part in our own lives and thus contribute to our own difficulties to one degree or another is an important component of the therapeutic work and recovery. I strive to co-create with my patients a safe, secure, and consistent environment within which to work. I see both individuals and couples in psychodynamically oriented psychotherapy. My training in these areas is extensive (the Washington School of Psychiatry and the Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis). While always creating an empathetic environment with my individual patients, I emphasize empathetic listening and expression with couples as the road to change. I have constantly pursued professional education as a means of deepening my understandings, finding new ways to look at human behavior, and enriching my work. My goal is to develop a theoretical and clinical approach that is both integrated and flexible – to accommodate individual differences and new discoveries.
