Sometimes the hardest thing in life is to forgive yourself, or forgive others for what has happened. It can really keep you stuck in the same cycle, over and over, depressed, and anxious. It is like Kryptonite; it keeps you from living the life you want to live, and from discovering the superpowers you have inside of you. What would happen if you could use those superpowers? What would happen if you were to feel your enthusiasm again? Where would you go, what would you do, what new skills would you like to learn? Where is your Kryptonite hidden.
Healing, insight, and forgiveness happens through our relationships, our play and talk together. Therefore in sessions, we can use whatever it takes to foster your specific healing and growth by figuring out what you need, how you need to process feelings and emotions, and where you want to go in life. I will help you find your Kryptonite and defuse it.
We can go Kryptonite hunting together. Whether you need to come to terms with past trauma, learn to better cope with the struggles of the present, or learn to go forward into the future you want to create, I would love to support you in your quest to create the life you want. You can find your enthusiasm and your own superpower again.

We start with Psychodynamic therapy to get to know you and how you relate to the world around you. From there, we decide together how to proceed. We can use trauma using EMDR, a miraculously fast tool to lift the heavy weight of trauma. We can focus on a specific goal using hypnotherapy. With any tool, the main focus is on making life better for you, in body, mind, spirit and in relationships.
