One -on- One: We are both wounded and whole — and this paradox informs how we "Be" in the world. Because hurt happens in relationship, healing does too. Therapy becomes a place where every part of you is welcomed, allowing your true Self to emerge with greater clarity and compassion - inviting what wants attention. COUPLES: Relationship provides the mirror and tension to know who we are. What most wants to be healed will surface through the friction and intimacy of partnership. Wounds, triggers and defenses exist for a reason and represent the maps that lead to healing. You two are OK. This is supposed to be happening.
I bring warmth, humor, intelligence, 61 years of being a human and 32 years of relationship with my husband (also a therapist) to my practice. Feeling safe and seen will help you move towards wholeness and authenticity. Together we eradicate limiting beliefs so you feel more alive. IFS, EMDR, Attachment Theory and Imago are some of the models I use.
I use my skills as a therapist, artist, and my experience in a 32-year relationship to help clients examine their lives, heal from the past, and create connection with self and others that bring love and vitality. I welcome the opportunity to help you clarify and tend to what needs attention in your life.
