Many of us feel stuck, want more than just a quick, temporary fix and wish for a therapy experience that supports the possibility of long-term, lasting change. A lot of folks continue to be stuck despite their best effort. Some feel empty, depressed or detached; others feel easily overcome by emotion, unable to quiet their minds or ease the tension in their bodies. Many need help understanding what they want or need to live a more satisfying life. If you can relate to any of this, are looking for a specialist in healing complex trauma, or are interested in depth work, I'm here and may be able to help you get past this stuck place.
I think most of us want to feel more connected with our self & others, with feeling alive inside, and with insight into what provides us lasting satisfaction. My approach is human-centered, mindful, relational and depth-oriented. I honor what you want to change in your life. We work to understand deeply, in a mindful way, the barriers to you getting it.
I specialize in working with folks who: -want more satisfying lives, -struggle with maintaining positive self-esteem, -feel detached from who they are, their emotions and/or bodies, -often feel unsafe, -feel quickly overwhelmed & have trouble regulating emotion, -feel isolated/alone, or -have relationship difficulties (intimate, work, family, social, etc).

I assist you in clarifying what you'd like to get most from sessions and we co-create a focused session intention. From there we work together to understand in a present centered & deep way what's in the way of you getting the change you'd like to see & what's within your control. We explore & map together what's changing & what helps (/can help) you get more of, or closer to, the change you seek.
