Individual Counseling

My approach to therapy is most closely described as depth psychology. This approach sees the human mind as having different layers, with some parts in our conscious awareness and others hidden in the unconscious. These hidden areas, sometimes called blind spots, often hold the source of our struggles and symptoms. It’s common to feel conflicted, as though you’re “at odds with yourself.” Many people try to ignore or suppress these inner conflicts, but they don’t go away—they remain unresolved beneath the surface.

 

A key idea in depth psychology, and central to my approach, is bringing these unconscious conflicts to light. In a safe and supportive space, we can explore these hidden struggles, address them, and work toward understanding and resolution. By confronting what’s beneath the surface, true healing becomes possible.

I am also a certified NARM™ Master Therapist. The NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) focuses on addressing attachment, relational, developmental, cultural, and intergenerational trauma by examining the patterns that contribute to lifelong emotional and physical symptoms and relationship challenges. These patterns, often unconscious, deeply affect our sense of self, emotions, body, behavior, and relationships. By systematically working with these fragmented and disorganized aspects of the self, NARM provides powerful tools for healing complex trauma.

 

This approach combines techniques from various psychotherapeutic traditions, such as Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Attachment Theory, Cognitive Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing®. Blending traditional therapy with body-mind practices provides a relational framework for healing. The NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) is a mindfulness-based method that explores identity and self-awareness. It helps uncover who we are beneath our habitual patterns of relating to ourselves and others, paving the way for greater authenticity and connection.

Couples and Family Counseling

In my work with couples and families, I focus on observing and addressing relationship dynamics as they occur. This helps identify recurring patterns in real-time, creating opportunities for meaningful change. In couples or family therapy, the relationship itself is treated as the client. The main goal is to break negative cycles and unhelpful patterns that cause conflict or disconnection.

​

While individual perspectives are important, the bigger focus is on the growth and development of the relationship. We explore how each person’s experiences and behaviors affect the dynamic, working toward better understanding, stronger connections, and mutual growth.

​

Therapy sessions typically involve couples or family members working collaboratively. While most sessions are collaborative, individual sessions may occasionally be held to address personal history or concerns, which are then brought back into the relationship work. Unlike individual therapy, couples therapy focuses on the relationship as a whole—healing, strengthening, and building connection.

Counseling for Therapists

Throughout my career, I’ve received excellent training, mentorship, and supervision from skilled professionals who have greatly influenced my growth. These experiences have demonstrated to me just how valuable consultation can be for fostering professional development and building confidence. Whether you’re a new clinician navigating the challenges of building your practice or a seasoned psychotherapist looking to refine your skills and expand your expertise, I have had the privilege of supporting many therapists on their journey of growth and transformation in this field.

 

My approach is always tailored to your unique needs and goals. I draw on Jungian, psychodynamic, and phenomenological frameworks to provide a comprehensive and thoughtful perspective. Our work together will focus on strengthening your expertise, enhancing your therapeutic practice, and helping you connect more deeply with your clients. With the right support, you can expand your impact, build on your strengths, and continue evolving both personally and professionally.

Performer and Athlete Counseling

Performer and athlete counseling is a rapidly growing area in mental health, tailored to address individuals' unique challenges in high-pressure environments. Whether it’s the intense demands of competition, the pressure to perform at a high level, or the mental toll of maintaining focus and drive, this type of counseling provides a safe space to navigate it all. My approach takes into account the whole person, not just their performance because true success stems from balance and well-being in all areas of life. I aim to help clients grow personally, not just professionally, while addressing the mental and emotional obstacles that often come with striving for elite success.

​

I work closely with clients to identify the specific challenges that arise in high-stakes situations, whether it’s managing stress, overcoming setbacks, or staying motivated under pressure. Together, we develop habits, coping strategies, and life skills that empower them to approach these obstacles with resilience and confidence. By building a stronger mindset, they can maintain their peak performance while achieving greater life balance and fulfillment.
