​Psychotherapy

​

        I provide outpatient therapy to adults 21 years and older, specializing in relationship and attachment issues. I treat people who are struggling with loss, life transitions, relationship difficulties and communication issues. I work primarily with adult women, but genuinely enjoy working with adult men struggling with similar concerns, including the pressures of fatherhood.   Additional areas of specialty are depression, anxiety, sexuality and maternal mental health. 

           Psychodynam​ic psychotherapy focuses on current relational patterns and their link to past relationships. I often draw from object-relations, AEDP and attachment therapy orientations. This work focuses on identifying how a person has learned to cope with challenges and stress, navigate connections with others and make shifts where they find themselves feeling stuck.  One of the goals of this work is to gently bring to the surface uncomfortable thoughts and feelings that are showing up in different areas of his/her life.  When difficult feelings or needs are acknowledged without judgment and worked through in a trusting therapy relationship, clients often experience deep internal change and notice themselves responding with more freedom in many areas of their lives.  The point is to recognize and address issues that are impacting a client's current life, not to focus unnecessarily on the past. My interventions range between solution-focused approaches that target symptoms to deeper, long-term experiential work. I also encourage the use of self-care strategies, help clients to identify and change unhealthy thought-patterns and build upon their existing strengths and resources.

       

       Therapy isn't easy, but it offers many rewards. My goal is to provide a safe, reassuring and calming atmosphere where you can share openly and feel seen and understood.  At the heart of it all is a relationship.  We will be thinking together about your problems and helping you learn ways to solve them.  Rest assured that I will pay close attention to your needs and responses to therapy, walking with you at your unique pace.  We will often discuss how you are experiencing our time together.
