The relationship between therapist and client is instrumental in helping a person achieve their goals. In the therapeutic relationship, clients have the opportunity to feel their full range of feelings and become understood in deep and meaningful ways. When someone matches with the right therapist, therapy can be a life-changing experience. Transgenerational patterns, attachment experiences, and core beliefs formed in early childhood play a major role in current mental health. I pay close attention to emotional language, thoughts, and somatic symptoms.
I believe negative emotions, if suppressed, will show up in the form of physical symptoms, problematic behaviors, or interpersonal conflict. Once we pay attention to these signals and understand their underlying meanings, we can cope and handle situations more effectively. I combine brain-based therapy with psychodynamic, and emotion-focused interventions.
Currently, I am pursuing a Ph.D. program in Education, with an Emphasis in Counseling at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. My areas of research and interest are relational neuroscience, resilience, attachment, and intergenerational healing and recovery.
