I believe the foundation of effective psychotherapy lies in a trusting relationship and fosters one part of a path towards wholeness. Past hurts, the voice of the inner critic, obsessive worry, or that sense of doom, can leave us feeling fragmented and split off. Through deep listening in our sessions, I am to support your reconnection to a sense of Self through best practice tools, and a reclaiming of your inner resources and strengths. In therapy, I set out to learn your unique story so that together, we can untangle the pain.
I practice integrative psychotherapy, brining together mind, body, and soul for better mental health. I integrate psychodynamic relational models with contemporary modern day strategies and tools such as mindfulness-based methods, CBT and ACT, Internal Family Systems, affective neuroscience, & Somatic Experiencing for improved well-being and quality of life.
I believe in each person's unique capacity for healing, resiliency, and change. I work with many artists, writers, and creatives looking for support in their creative path. In addition to psychotherapy, I am a graduate professor and writer. This vocation is a true calling for me and am often humbled by this work.
