Get To Know Me
If you could pick one movie or book that influenced your approach to therapy, what would it be and why?
Good Will Hunting. I think Robin Williams character was spot on and responded to Will with compassion and empathy but wasn't afraid to help explore deeper more meaningful issues that were driving forces.
In what ways do your life philosophy and treatment philosophy overlap?
I try to approach life in a similar way that I approach treatment. I first try to balance myself, using more of a cognitive behavioral approach, so I can understand the problem, own it and then look for alternatives to find balance. I then believe in not running from my pain. I view my emotions as my souls fingerprint, and try to better understand myself by examining the emotions I feel. Also, I try to remain hopeful. that life will get better by owning the way I exist.
In what ways have your personal experiences influenced your work with your clients?
I have a large history of experiences in my own life that allow me to be able to relate to those coming to see me in a very human way. I like to collaborate with my clients and work as a team to help a person find peace and balance within themselves in the face of their pain an suffering.
