The primary psychology services I offer are:
- Psychotherapy – The overarching goal of psychotherapy is to come to understand our emotions and use them in helpful ways for our lives. Beyond settling distress and reducing acute symptoms, psychotherapy outcomes can involve building self-acceptance, resilience, agency, emotional regulation skills, relationship skills, or arriving at a clear sense of self. For example, this might involve recovering from trauma, resolving the emotional patterns that produce depression and anxiety, or working through grief and loss.
- Clinical Supervision – Supervision assists people working in helping professions to do their work.
- Working with Dreams
Working with dreams is a way to know yourself, to accept yourself, to free yourself from judgements of who you should be or what your emotions should be. The rich and imaginative world of dreams can be a wellspring of creativity that help support us when facing intense emotions. Working with dreams can be particular helpful when someone has experienced trauma and is having nightmares; when there is intense grief after a loss; or when depression has swamped imagination and creativity.
Working with dreams may be used in a small part of psychotherapy, revealing something important to you, or the experience of engaging with dreams may form a central focus to a longer psychotherapy.
As the focus of my practice is psychotherapy, there are a number of services offered by other psychology specialties that I don’t provide.
