•Do you find yourself at, or approaching, midlife and curious about what’s in store with retirement on the horizon and/or the prospect of an empty nest looming? Perhaps you’ve managed this stage of life already and are wondering about the changes your senior years might bring. I believe that all the “second act” years can be rewarding, fulfilling and enjoyable - even exciting! I would love to engage in dialogue with you about how you might successfully bridge these transitions, perhaps addressing past issues and problematic behavioral patterns, enhancing your confidence, discovering your True Self and finding a sense of contentment.
You are the expert on you! Working collaboratively, I integrate relational, EMDR, experiential and contemplative psychotherapeutic strategies, such as mindfulness, acceptance and compassion practices. I am guided by attachment and trauma theory to help you unlock the origins of your suffering, while believing that healing can only take place in the present.
•You and I are unique individuals. Together, we create a unique relationship and, if we are a good fit, the relationship will be an important partner in the work we do. In fact, I view the relationship between us as a living and constantly evolving process that creates change. Ultimately, it is a wondrous and mysterious experience. I can't wait to meet you!
