Provider information

Description

The co-creation of a safe and authentic therapeutic relationship is the most fundamental task of this work. It is within the framework of this relationship that insight and change is made possible. I am highly skilled in attuning to my client’s emotional state and inner life, and in forming deep and healing connections.

Therapy may include building self-awareness and new skills, depending on the client’s priorities. When suffering is extreme, symptom reduction and stabilization is the focus.

I thoroughly assess each clients needs and tailor my treatment accordingly.
