My ideal client wants to enjoy their life and relationships more, notices patterns repeated in their lives, is reflective. Though many of us were wounded in childhood, few of us have had the opportunity to work through the challenges life presented. I look through the lens of our history and relationships to get under the surface of our symptoms. Our time together aims to bring relief from worries, fears, stress, low self-esteem & self-blame which greatly constrict our lives. I also work with separating & divorcing families, as a coach and coparent counselor to reduce conflict and put kids as the central focal point.
My approach uses insight, attachment theory, CBT & psycho-education. I look at our challenges and scars through the lens of family history, relationships, and undercurrents of our thoughts & feelings. I listen deeply, providing an environment which allows new experiences to unfold.
It is lovely to be able to talk over the phone should my approach sound like a match for you. After the phone call, we will both have a better sense of our fit. I am an out of network provider for insurance. Secure video conferencing is available. Kaiser/Magellan will not cover any services I provide.
