My Therapeutic Approach
My therapeutic approach is foundationally psychoanalytic; together we will explore how the past persists into the present both consciously and unconsciously, and how it may hinder how we function in and think about the world. I strive to create a caring, friendly, curious, and non-judgmental space to facilitate your process to work through the conflict. Dreams and dreamwork can inform us about the unconscious in the therapeutic work. I am also a certified EMDR therapist. EMDR is used to address various traumas and PTSD among other challenges.
