Theoretical Orientation:
The therapy space is meant to be a safe place for clients to explore, learn about themselves, and gain insight into their worldview. I work from a psychodynamic framework with a relational lens. This means that together we explore interpersonal relationships and the patterns that often show up in clients’ lives. I also emphasize the importance of the therapeutic relationship and collaboration between the client and therapist. Utilizing time-limited approaches, I try to set building blocks to help clients start to reach a better level of functioning.
