“The word psychotherapy consists of two Greek words: psyche (soul) and therapy (care). By definition psychotherapy is care of the soul” – Thomas Moore
My therapeutic approach is primarily psychodynamic, humanistic, and holistic, with an emphasis on helping individuals feel more empowered in their lives. Insight oriented approaches value both thoughts and emotions, and aim to understand the deeper roots of problems. This can resolve symptoms, have long lasting benefits, and give meaning to one’s life experiences.
While using cognitive behavioral strategies for some symptoms, I do not offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as an exclusive form of therapy. Individuals with a preference for CBT would be better served working with a different provider. I view people and their experiences of suffering as complex, and try to bring many different sources of human wisdom to my work.
My life-long interest in Depth psychology, exploring the deeper layers of the psyche, and the relationship between psychology and spirituality, also provides a productive atmosphere for those who would like to incorporate more spiritual aspects into the therapeutic process.
I encourage you to play an active role in our work together, and often use humor in sessions. As you move towards goals we will periodically review your progress, what you find helpful, and whether there may be better ways to approach certain issues. It is my hope that you will feel comfortable providing feedback on any aspects of your experience that you deem important.
Prior to scheduling an appointment, we would have a brief phone consultation to help determine the suitability of my practice to your needs, and allow you to ask any questions. In general, individuals with a history of psychiatric hospitalization, suicides attempts, or current substance abuse are not a good match for my practice. In these situations, I do my best to make referrals to other providers and resources.
