My approach: Self Psychology and Jungian therapy
It’s hard being human. Much of the distress we feel comes down to how we learned, or didn’t learn, to regulate our emotions, and to the human connections that shaped us.
I follow the developmental model of Heinz Kohut’s Self Psychology. It holds that three experiences, being mirrored, being able to look up to someone, and feeling alike with others, are what build our capacity for emotional regulation. Therapy is a place to rebuild those experiences.
My work is also informed by Carl Jung’s Analytical Psychology, especially with couples. I believe people can make positive, healthy change, and that self-care and real connection are essential parts of it.
