I collaborate with my clients on all aspects of treatment.
I have more than 20 years experience working with clients to help heal from painful experiences. This often includes addressing family, career, and relationship issues, as well as recognizing dominant patterns of thinking and behavior. In my practice I use a relational psychodynamic framework that focuses on examining the ways we internally relate to parts of ourselves.
