Do you feel torn? Torn between conflicting desires? Torn between choices, decisions, or paths? Torn between roles, identities, or responsibilities? Torn between lives? Does it sometimes feel like your life is a perpetual paradox that you are trying to make sense of and find balance in? Do you often wonder how all these various elements could be brought into harmony, and if it is even possible? I assure you; it is – you may just need a little help getting there.
There are many parts and aspects to a person, and sometimes elements of our lives and even our identities collide. Whether you are seeking for greater cohesion between the individual and the communal, the familial and the amical, the professional and the personal, the public and the private, the male and the female, religious identity and sexual identity, linguistic and cultural identity, or individual and shared identity within the context of a romantic relationship – all have importance and value and deserve a place in the landscape of your life.
My work focuses on exploration: exploration of the self, exploration of relationships, exploration of ideas, exploration of dreams; exploration of potentials and possibilities. While there is importance, relevance and value in what is, I am more curious about and interested in what can be – and I believe you have a say in that. I believe in pushing limits and removing roadblocks, and am committed to providing you the tools needed to clear the way and pave your own path.
A Bit About Me: I love learning and am deeply inquisitive. I love exploring languages and cultures. I love diversity and plurality of thought, and exploring the world and its lived experiences through different perspectives. I enjoy music, theater, film, food (I’m a bit of a foodie), and spending time in nature.
Educational Background:
B.S. Psychology w/ language studies | Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah
M.A. Clinical Psychology | International Psychoanalytic University, Berlin, Germany
Approach: While my educational training was based in the psychoanalytic/psychodynamic tradition, I am also familiar with other modalities such as CBT and DBT. I adjust my therapeutic approach to the individual needs of the client. My personal affinities tend more towards humanistic (client-centred) and hermeneutic (interpretive, symbolic, or meaning-making) traditions. I am also comfortable incorporating spirituality and/or dreamwork in my therapeutic practice.
