You make sense. Every feeling, every thought, every behavior. Even if those feelings, thoughts, or behaviors are clearly getting in the way of your peace, your goals, or the kinds of relationships you want to have. I'm here to help you explore and create compassion for your internal world, because you can't change what you don't understand.
Here are a few examples of clients who I work well with: those experiencing a faith crisis/transition, people who value spirituality (mainstream or alternative forms), men with young children, federal workers, and high performers with relationship struggles. I work with individuals and couples.
With more than three years of experience teaching mindfulness, I’ve seen how it can create lasting change. In therapy, I draw from parts work (IFS) and somatic awareness to help clients recognize and understand the body's language: emotion. Your emotions are already telling you what you need most if you can slow down and tune in enough to hear their message.
My goal is not to keep you in therapy indefinitely, but to help you gain enough skill and self-understanding that our relationship is no longer necessary. I value the role of authentic spirituality in mental health, whatever that looks like for you. If this approach resonates, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation call to see if we’re a fit.
