Theoretical Orientation
My orientation blends my education in Psychology and Social Work in that I work with clients from a neuro-developmental framework (nature) as well as from a "person-in-environment" perspective (nurture.) I believe both nature and nurture strongly influence how a person moves through life, copes with hardships and perceives experiences. I draw from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, narrative and objects-relations theories when working with my clients. I also incorporate knowledge that I have acquired regarding nutrition and interpersonal neurobiology to help clients further support changes they seek. I work to create a trusting, warm and non-judgmental environment as a foundation to my collaboration with clients towards their therapeutic goals; I believe that a trusting therapeutic relationship is key to supporting therapeutic change.
More Information
I enjoy hiking, skiing, camping and travel as well as quality time with family and friends. Creating healthy yet tasty meals is also a big interest of mine.
