Sometimes there is a gap between where we are and where we want to be or who we think we could be. Feeling this gap can be emotionally and physically draining. It’s difficult to be present in our lives when we feel consumed by the pain within us. It’s hard to know what to do next and even when the next step is clear, it may feel impossible to take it. My approach to therapy is gentle, supportive, and relational with an aim to reduce the need for coping mechanisms and to heal at the source. The training that I take reflects my personal belief that therapy is a place to come back to your integrated self.
Somatic therapy with a relational, attachment-orientated focus along with its foundation in neuroscience, provides the depth and embodiment to gently work with the sources of coping strategies.
The thread found throughout all of my training and experience is a client-centered approach. Since each person has individual perspectives and unique experiences, I use a variety of therapeutic approaches to find what resonates with my clients. To help them get unstuck and move forward to be where they want to be and who they choose to be.
