I practice primarily from a Gestalt model, where YOU are the expert on yourself.
After 27 years of working in the mental health field, in 3 different countries, I have an appreciation for the fact that life rarely goes according to plan. Perhaps you’re struggling with feeling anxious, depressed, or unfulfilled with some part of your life, or you find yourself longing for deeper, more meaningful relationships. Have you lived through traumatic events (whether recent or long ago) that have changed you in ways you don’t understand, caused you to react unpredictably...made you feel like a stranger to yourself, & you’re struggling to cope? I believe in meeting you where you're at, with compassion, & without judgment.

I want to teach people what's right with them, as they have been hearing for years all that is 'wrong' with them. I want to assist you in changing the language around who you are and what you're here for. This life can be painful at times, and we need our people to remind us of our worth in the midst of it all and that we can feel everything and still be okay. I desire fully, to assist you in coming back home to yourself.

As the trust continues to grow, together we will work on whatever presents itself. Everyone comes with their own story and that is what makes this work so special.

Although it has become more widely normalized, therapy can be a daunting experience. The exploration of self is a vulnerable process that takes significant strength and courage. Opening yourself up to a stranger is no easy task. My hope, as your prospective therapist, is to provide a safe environment in which we can step into novel encounters, increasing understanding and self-growth. Staying just on the edge of discomfort, as we explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences, without causing unnecessary harm. It is my belief that the therapeutic relationship is a sacred one. Providing relational encounters for healing.

Driven by curiosity, genuine connection, and creativity... I don't believe it's a therapist's job to "fix" folks. My passion is to EQUIP folks to live their best lives and continue their growth outside of the therapy setting. I specialize in serving high-achievers with internal insecurity and anxiety. Maybe you've devoured self-help books and therapytok, but haven't found the deeper healing you seek yet. I love championing individuals who are invested and ready to take their growth to a deeper level. I take pride in consistently being told that I offer a better therapy experience.

For all of us, change, loss, and challenge are natural, inevitable parts of life. Yet sometimes, changes and challenges seem to prevent our happiness and satisfaction. Sometimes, coping and maintaining our wellbeing can become difficult; we feel overwhelmed, or our emotions seem too hard to handle alone. We wonder how we arrived where we find ourselves, and how we can move forward with confidence that things can get better. Perhaps anxiety, depression, struggling to communicate or connect are more familiar to us than contentment, feeling hopeful, and valued for who we are. At times like these, therapy can be a source of help.

Gestalt Therapists
What is gestalt therapy?
Gestalt therapy is based on the idea that to address unresolved negative feelings, emotions must be not only discussed but also actively expressed in the present moment. The term is from a German word meaning “whole,” and gestalt therapists believe that people should be considered whole entities made up of mind, body, and emotions. Gestalt sessions are rooted in the notion that a client’s total self must be discovered, explored, and confronted, so that they can take greater responsibility for themselves and their behavior, learn to satisfy their own needs while still respecting the needs of others, and reconnect with feelings they might otherwise deny.
How does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy sessions do not just involve talking with a therapist. Clients may take part in role-playing, re-enactment, or artistic exercises like drawing and painting, with the goal of becoming more aware of negative thought patterns that limit happiness. One common gestalt exercise is “the empty chair,” in which a client sits across from an empty chair representing a partner, relative, boss, or a part of themselves—and, with the therapist’s encouragement, improvises a dialog with it. The intention is to bring the emotions raised by past conflicts into the present and work through them in the moment.
How long does gestalt therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for gestalt therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. New patients should understand that it may take some time to become comfortable with gestalt exercises but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions.
Does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy has generally been found to be as effective as other forms of talk therapy in helping people living with anxiety, depression, phobias, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders, as well as helping individuals reduce conflict in relationships. Gestalt techniques, on their own or in combination with other therapies, can also be effective in managing physical ailments including ulcerative colitis, migraines, and back spasms. It should be noted that some people may have trouble adapting to gestalt therapy’s lack of formal structure or to a therapist’s close observations of their body language and emotions; others may struggle to commit to techniques that feel unnatural, like the empty chair exercise.
