Many clients decide to begin therapy in the midst of an emotional crisis. In these circumstances, the first weeks in therapy will likely involve stabilizing your emotions and ensuring your safety. Throughout this process I will also make a dedicated effort to build a relationship based on mutual understanding and trust, which serves as the foundation of lasting growth. Ultimately, I encourage my client's to go to vulnerable, emotional places, but only when they feel ready to do so.

Although I practice from a psychodynamic theoretical orientation, I work to embody flexibility in my treatment approach. I acknowledge the complexity of your needs and view you as an expert on your own challenges. In practice, this means that you ultimately have the final say in your treatment goals and what therapy will look like. If you decide to take this journey with me, then we will work shoulder to shoulder to collaboratively create a plan for your flourishing.
