I am an interactive therapist, interested in helping clients reduce symptoms of distress, usually anxiety or depression and explore with them the roots of their distress. I find whether it is addiction, eating disorders, chronic pain, or straight forward relationship issues, understanding the "why" as well as the "how" to fix it, helps the problem and symptoms subside. Clients that work with me finish therapy with a greater awareness of themselves which helps them avoid difficulties in the future as well as a host of healthy coping strategies to help get through the rough times ahead.
As we explore ways of understanding you, that's when healing can begin. I find most people are pretty hard on themselves, with lots of pressure and high expectations. I want to help adjust those expectations and set you up for success and feeling good about yourself.
I have special expertise in relaxation training, guided imagery, meditation and psychedelic integration.
I believe it takes a lot of strength to reach out for help and it's the first step to taking care of yourself and/or your relationship. We will make a great team, let's work together.
