Therapy is one way to gain new experiences and to be witnessed and supported in the process of healing. In my work I focus on supporting individuals who have experienced trauma as well as experiences of stress, anxiety, grief and loss. We work to re-wire beliefs about ourselves and the world. I use focusing techniques such as mindfulness, somatic approaches and Brainspotting.
Life brings us many experiences including great joys and deeply painful chapters. Together we can bring curiosity to all of these experinces.
Offerings
Whether you’re navigating recurring conflicts, rebuilding trust, or simply longing for a deeper, more secure connection, couples therapy can offer a path to greater, understanding. I will partner with you in your unique goals for your relationship.
In my work with couples I use various modalities including Emotionally focused Therapy. Together we can look at ingrained patterns and I will invite both of you to try new ways of relating to each other. This is especially powerful because we can practice these new ways of interacting in our sessions together rather than simply talking about the challenge.
We are all a part of interconnected systems. This is true in our families as well as with our larger social environment. Sometimes an imbalance or disturbance becomes apparent. In family therapy we have the opportunity to look at the system as a whole and bring attention to ingrained patterns that are no longer serving you.
Family therapy is broad and can include children and parents, or it may be include adult family members. Relatives are uniquely defined by each family, together we can determine which constellation would be helpful to attend therapy.
My Approach
I am deeply grateful for the privilege to hold space for individuals through some of the most vulnerable moments of life. My approach integrates the wisdom of the body and the healing power of our mind. Together we call in the deep wisdom that guides us toward wholeness. My work draws from psychodynamic, somatic practices, and person centered therapy to help you heal, bring alignment, and reconnect with your true self.
I work to understand each person and am honored to hold space for individuals with different backgrounds and identities. My goal is to bring attention and respect to these varying parts of ourselves. My desire is to attune to the complexities of identity to bring harmony to different parts of ourselves, each of which hold importance.
I believe we all have an inherent drive toward growth and healing. I see my role as partnering with you as a witness to your journey. Life is complex and we are constantly noticing places to bring into balance. My work includes mindfulness practices of non-attachment and compassion.
