About me
I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, emotionally rich and confidential environment for individuals to explore what’s on their mind. After getting a feel for the salient issues at hand, we consider how to manage symptoms. I believe everyone has a story, and beginnings matter; therefore, we also explore where and why these symptoms started. This includes thinking about early childhood; family, friends, and environments that all play a role in who we are. I strive to think about your family and friends in a dynamic way, understanding and absorbing the “good” and the “not-so-good.”
I have niche specialized experience working with medical professionals such as physicians, nurses and medical trainees and directed a program aimed at understanding burnout. Within this demographic, examining the medical “home” is explored, as well as other parts of life; this type of work is not always linear even though the presenting issue revolves around the workplace. I also enjoy working with young adults, parents, college and graduate students including international students.
I formulate your story from a psychodynamic orientation with the belief that the past influences the present and operate from a relational lens (relationships influence well-being), though I have experience using cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques. I am a lifelong learner, always adding to my repertoire and seeking out meaningful experiences that expand my expertise.
