Therapeutic Approach:
Areas of Focus:
“I practice a relational psychodynamic approach to therapy, which centers on the relational encounter between the client and therapist to understand current patterns, uncover the impacts of trauma, and works to create new more desirable ways of relating. To understand your current patterns, we explore your past, current relationships, and your thoughts and desires as trust builds. The role of therapist is not one of authority and answers, but one that journeys with you to change undesirable patterns, find healing from past hurts, and provide space to process the difficulties of life and relationships.” – Kali

Well, first I guess I would have to believe that there was or is an actual political dialogue taking place that I could potentially be a part of. And honestly, I'm not sure that I believe that.
