I help people make sense of their internal lives by helping to identify and understand the spectrum of emotions one feels in a safe, nonjudgmental environment. I help give feelings and behaviors a deeper context for understanding which is an essential first step towards healing. I'm passionate about my work and have 28 yrs of experience working with individuals and couples. My style is engaged, collaborative, and direct. I started off as a "family systems" trained social worker, and later obtained certificates in both Psychoanalysis in 2006 and Somatic Experiencing Therapy in 2019 (body-based/trauma).
My goals for therapy include improving your emotional and physical well being, helping you feel more in control of your life, helping you reach your goals, enhancing self-awareness and self-acceptance, fostering mind-body integration, and understanding how the past informs the present. Good therapy can help you expand your capacity to live more fully.
Additionally trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, which is based in the science of attachment research, I believe that improved relationships with others -- family, friends, colleagues, and oneself -- is always a consequence of successful therapy and a cornerstone of one's overall sense of well being.
