What makes your practice special when compared with others in the area?

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults and couples. I use a combination of a psychodynamic framework (an introspective, analytical approach that emphasizes the importance of internal feelings and thoughts) and systems theory (a view of the individual as embedded in and impacted by the environment) to identify the potential cause of the current distress. I then often utilize cognitive behavioral techniques (methods used to change thoughts and behaviors) to target the presenting issues.
