PSYCHODYNAMIC THERAPIES

The theories I like to use with individuals are psychodynamic therapies - this approach focuses on changing problematic behaviors, feelings, and thoughts by discovering their unconscious meanings and motivations; behavior therapy - this approach focuses on learning's role in developing both normal and abnormal behaviors; cognitive therapy - cognitive therapy emphasizes what people think rather than what they do; existential therapy - focuses on free will, self-determination and the search for meaning. I believe blending elements from different approaches and tailor the treatment according to each client's needs.

​Believe that you have more strengths than you realize. However, people frequently struggle to see these strengths because they become overshadowed by life's challenges. We believe that individuals are resilient and have the capacity to not only survive, but thrive. Often individuals will need support at various points in their lives to see this growth. We are here for you. We respect and welcome people of all races and faiths.

​Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an effective treatment, helps individuals understand and change the connections between the impressions of their life events, emotional responses, how their body reacts, and the choices they make. We work with you to identify treatment goals that will be most practical, productive, and meaningful to you.
