Treatment Philosophy

I utilize an integrative approach to treatment that is tailored to meet your specific goals. I tend to view therapy through a relational lens and I aim to deeply understand your relationship with yourself and with others, both past and present. Part of fostering change or growth is first establishing why you are who you are and how you came to be that way. Our sessions may focus on how past relationships have impacted your current view of yourself, your world-view, and the way you connect with others today. Goals may focus on helping you adapt to current roles, situations, and relationships in a healthy way. We will often explore your feelings and reactions; your thinking patterns and internal dialogue; and how you commonly respond to distress or change. 

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important component of any helpful treatment intervention. Like any healthy relationship, the therapeutic relationship must be built upon trust, safety, and honesty. My ultimate goal is to make the counseling process collaborative and individualized and to create a safe space to question, explore, and continue to grow together.
