You're likely trying to deal with some type of crisis or trauma - something that was too much, too soon, or too fast for you nervous system to handle. Trauma isn't always the result of a car crash, a typhoon, or a war zone. The reasons for trauma are diverse: divorce, surgery, illness, childhood injury, death of a loved one, a major medical diagnosis. At the very least, trauma results in a decreased ability to feel satisfaction, or emotional or physical pleasure. It's effects are surprisingly enduring. Now your ready to get help to address it.
Your body knows how to heal; you just need a skilled guide. We can work together to renegotiate old emotional and physical patterns that aren't serving you well. I combine a deep knowledge of modern therapy with a natural capacity to support you in feeling safe, calm and ready to explore.
Classic talk therapy ignores that mind - body connection, missing many avenues to healing. I was trained in talk therapy: it's a big part of what we'll do together. But I've studied may other approaches and incorporated the most effective ones into my practice.
