Philosophy
My approach to therapy is centered on values of growth, caring, dignity and autonomy. I engage with every client as a unique human being, with a story and a journey that is wholly their own. I view the work of therapy as a collaborative adventure in which I provide guidance and safety and enlightenment along the path that we find and travel together.
Expertise
Philosophy
Philosophy
I have studied and worked in the mental health field for over 30 years. I have worked with nearly all psychiatric conditions, both common and rare. I am unlikely to be surprised by any symptoms or situations a client might seek help with. I also have particular expertise with trauma, especially developmental or multiple traumas, and Complex PTSD, including dissociative symptoms or disorders.
Approach
Philosophy
Approach
My approach is genuinely holistic and eclectic, drawing from multiple treatment modalities and schools of thought to meet the specific needs of each client at each stage of their therapeutic work. Healing is both the journey and the aspiration, but that does not always mean the elimination of a symptom or condition. It sometimes means greater understanding, integration, empowerment and autonomy.
what I do
The Issues And Clients I Work With
I work with individuals, couples and families to help with issues ranging from the common to the quite unusual. Common issues include feeling anxious and overwhelmed, burnout, self doubt, difficulty saying no, relationship struggles, worries about health conditions, questions about career or purpose, battling with addiction, or loving someone who struggles with addiction, brain fog or problems with concentration, and all the other detritus of our day-to-day lives. More particular issues might include living with a narcissist or healing afterwards, navigating a startup or transition into midstage or planning for exit, family succession planning, impaired professionals or others facing investigation or disciplinary action.
