Counselor
I provide therapy services at our Northgate clinic.
My original training has been in Clinical Psychology utilizing standard evidenced based practices such as CBT, DBT, and solution focused and strength based approaches. The most recent turn in my therapeutic perspective has shifted to focus more on experiential, narrative, emotionally focused and attachment based therapeutic approaches. Philosophers who have influenced me deeply are Carl Jung, Carl Rogers, Martin Buber, and Joseph Campbell.
My desire and experience is working with those who have faced issues regarding identity, suicidality, substance abuse, as well as sexual assault and incest. My main goal in this work is to contribute to a space where those I work with feel secure in exploring aspects that are otherwise hidden from the self and allowing them to be expressed and appreciated.
My hope is that if we have the opportunity to work together we will take the chance to explore, learn and appreciate the many facets and expressions of being human. Also, that overtime you will have space in your internal landscape to contain, appreciate, and celebrate every experience and emotion in all of their complexities.
