Understanding & Appreciation

My therapeutic approach is integrative: I combine methods from different schools and therapies to individually address the needs of my clients. At the core of my work is a psychodynamic understanding of mental health, informed by my psychodynamic training. Central to this approach is the (joint) exploration of unconscious conflicts and relationship dynamics that influence present-day experience and behavior.

This creates a flexible, multifaceted therapeutic process in which new perspectives can emerge and resources are strengthened. I view the therapeutic relationship as a safe, appreciative space where new experiences become possible. Together, we work to recognize individual patterns, resources, and obstacles in order to initiate lasting change. It is important to me to respond flexibly to my clients’ needs and to value different cultural, social, and personal backgrounds. In my work, I make it a priority to listen attentively and to create a space for people to openly share their thoughts and feelings.
