The second half of life can be much better than the first. In fact, midlife is an ideal time for healing, personal growth, and positive change. So if your ship launched on choppy waters or rocky shoals and you're still navigating rough seas, a midlife course correction could help. What's required? Openness to new experience, willingness to engage, capacity to commit, and a therapist who knows what's possible and how to achieve it. A seasoned mariner can help navigate the midlife passage with the art of healing, the science of change, and the "hard work miracle" of growth.
Our minds are embodied processes that are organized and reorganized in relationships. That's the raison d'être for my practice of relational, somatic psychotherapy, where midlife adults explore the transformative potential of embodied and emotionally attuned relationships.
Did you know? Therapists can be generalists or specialists. Generalists treat a wide variety of issues; specialists have advanced training and experience with particular types of treatment, clients, or concerns. I specialize in in-depth psychotherapy with midlife adults, and I also enjoy working with couples. Inquiries about openings are always welcome.
