A solid grounding in psychodynamic theory as well as family therapy approaches helps me help you identify how some of your difficulties originated. Understanding this improves your ability to navigate challenges and develop more satisfying ways to be with yourself, those close to you and your larger community.

Many people find themselves stuck in internal patterns like perfectionism, overthinking, feeling distrustful of others, people-pleasing, struggling with boundaries, etc. None of these feel good - and they're a drain on our precious energy! These limit our capacity for effective communication, meaningful relationships, and fully living. By focusing on the nervous system, we can interrupt these stress-reaction loops and the associated false beliefs that create feelings of anxiety, depression, emotional paralysis, unexplained pains and headaches, to help you rediscover a felt sense of ease, empowerment, resourcefulness, and vitality.
