As a therapist, I believe I have much to offer to my clients. Of course, I keep myself up to date on modalities to improve my skills so that I can better serve my clients, like many of my colleagues do. Nonetheless, I believe one thing that my clients benefit from our work together, is that I naturally have a calming presence. This has helped me to further create a welcoming, respectful, non-judgmental, supportive, and safe environment for everyone.
My therapeutic style has been influenced by different therapies. Carl Jung and his concept of archetypes is one, as well as his use of dreams in therapy. My therapeutic style is aligned with Attachment Therapy, and how our attachment style can shape our relationships. I also strongly believe in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a very practical set of tools to empower a person to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I utilize Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to enable people to learn skills to cope with circumstances and difficult emotions. I believe that as humans we constantly seek to self-regulate, though without appropriate guidance, we can fall into unhealthy patterns and addictions. That is when therapy can be very helpful.
