As a licensed clinical psychologist for 20+ years, I understand that the relationship and "fit" between client and therapist is paramount. I work hard to establish and maintain a relationship based on mutual trust and honesty. We can work together to help you feel less stuck, and more in control.
For depression treatment I use mix of techniques from person-centered, existential-humanistic, feminist, narrative, TA, and gestalt theoretical orientations.
veryone has times when they are sad or overwhelmed. Many people choose tocome to therapy even when they are not Clinically Depressed to prevent the downward spiral of negative thoughts and emotions. Therapy provides a way of looking at stressors and losses from a new perspective. It offers a place to organize your life and thoughts, as well as a venue for expressing your emotions. This often prevents the loss of relationships and productivity that can come with being clinically depressed. It can also prevent making choices, while feeling depressed, that are later regretted.
Dr. David Steinbok believes that change occurs within the individual, through insight and awareness. By utilizing the therapist as an accepting, non-judgmental participant, one can come to understand what keeps them from moving forward and achieving more satisfaction in their lives.
