At times the road to your fullest life is found by moving through trauma, rage, loss, and betrayal. How we cope with those hardships is important. Therapy can help you become more aware of suffering, the sources that are causing it, and tools to help you overcome it. I invite us to imagine a life beyond fear, shame, and regret. One where you feel your innate wisdom, compassion, and capacity, to live life more fully despite all of its complexities.
To aid with this process, I use somatically-informed interventions (eg relational, sensorimotor, emotion-focused, mindfulness- & acceptance-based, dialectical- & cognitive-behavioral) geared toward your unique concerns and needs. When appropriate, I integrate mind-body practices (eg mindfulness) to help with self-awareness, stress reduction, and well-being.
In my work with you, I offer nonjudgmental support, reliability, transparency, and empowerment. I take a client-centered, compassionate approach in working with adults, couples, and groups from diverse backgrounds. Before we begin, I offer a free video consultation to see whether I am a good fit for you. I look forward to delving in together.
