The unconditional positive regard bestowed by a therapist is gradually internalized by the client and sets the stage for the development of a positive relationship with oneself and with others in the client’s life.

I believe that a positive therapeutic relationship, which blossoms organically over time between the client and their therapist, is the most critical aspect of treatment. Each client that comes in to my office is beginning a new journey as they show me the way into their lives and become a part of mine I strive to honor that by creating a trusting environment that allows these clients to express themselves fully and explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences with me.

By focusing on these dynamics, couples come to understand the deeper structure of their conflicts and recognize the dysfunctional patterns to be addressed.Ĭhoosing the right psychotherapist to work with is an essential part of the path to emotional healing and self-awareness. My approach to couples therapy is systemic, meaning I work with couples to uncover the unconscious dynamics that each bring to the relationship and the ways our individual pasts imprint themselves on our present-day relationships, with our partners as well as with ourselves. I specialize primarily in anxiety disorders, relational/attachment trauma, personality disturbances, and couples work.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who practices using an attachment-based, humanistic and psychodynamic framework.
