I bring extensive experience and training to this task and I do understand how difficult and anxiety provoking the start of a post master’s internship in private practice can be.
I will offer you a working alliance that will support you in your task of becoming a licensed therapist. I will be there for you during setbacks and ently challenge you on your growing edges.I will celebrate your successes with you and will help you to expand your capacities as a psychotherapist.
I will respect and support your choice of your home base theory and encourage you to deepen it as we go along. Also, I believe that there is no one “true” theory -- we need to choose the theory that will inform and guide us about the case according to the needs of each particular client.
In addition, given my intensive training in the Masterson approach and Family Systems Theory, you will receive feedback from these two perspectives.
I am sensitive to the fact that lawyers are often maligned, as demonstrated by lawyer jokes, which often overlook the fact that many of us choose this field in order to advance the cause of fairness, equality and justice.
