Welcome. I believe it is a great privilege and responsibility to accompany someone on their healing journey. My approach to therapy begins with a firm belief in the inherent dignity of the individual. You aren’t damaged, nor do you need to be fixed. All symptoms—negative thinking, addictions, unhealthy coping strategies—develop to help you survive. Habitual ways of being, therefore, need to be seen through a lens of compassion and curiosity. I strive to create an atmosphere of respect and trust in which clients can safely explore their background, relationships, and inner workings of the mind, to help alleviate their suffering.
I utilize an eclectic, psychodynamic approach, which may include: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Clinical Hypnosis, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic Experiencing. My specialties include complex trauma and adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
As in any relationship, it's essential that the therapist and client "click." I invite you to consider my philosophy and training to determine if we can partner together in your quest to thrive, rather than simply survive.
