Unfortunately, I am not accepting new clients at this time. My passion is to help you feel heard, understood, and hopeful about the possibility of change. You'd be surprised by how much better you may feel after just a few sessions, either in-person or tele-health. I specialize in working with clients who are struggling with a number of things at the same time (such as life transitions, anxiety, trauma). My ideal client is someone who is interested in going below surface issues, and- potentially- including some "body-up" work in their therapy.
I try to offer you the right mix of approaches- ranging from problem-solving and mindfulness to a much deeper exploration of attachment and how your body is responding to perceived threats. Whatever your goals, using both "talk therapy" and knowledge of how our body responds to stress can help.
Finding a therapist can feel like a lot of work, but a phone call or email will help you to see if we are the right fit for each other. Let me know what it is you are looking for. The next step is for you and I to connect by email or cell.
