Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
I specialize in working with young adults on up as well as couples. facing challenges they are wanting to manage more effectively. The goal of therapy in my view is to help people access their best selves by learning to identify and work with their strengths along with impediments as they meet life's challenges with greater confidence and self awareness. Therapy is both an art and a science . Consequently I integrate cutting edge approaches utilizing neuroscience integrated with other modalities to provide meaningful and effective treatment. I have been trained in both psychodynamic , as well as here and now therapy which enables me to work withclients in terms of what will be most effective for them. Understanding our history is crucial but only as a spring board toward moving forward as opposed to getting stuck. I do not subscribe to the medical model of therapy- meaning you are sick and need to get well or cured. I do believe we all have ways of coping and some are useful, while others are outdated or limited .The task is getting to our best selves.
