My goal is to co-create a trusting relationship in which you can begin to explore and change the difficult patterns that have kept you from living to your fullest potential and happiness. We will work to understand the ways in which your history may have informed and limited your life and relationships (both with self and others). We will also look at how to transform, heal, and grow in the here and now; to respond rather than react when caught up in overwhelming emotions or negative thought patterns. I utilize a non-pathologizing and practical approach that includes mindfulness, self-compassion, and childhood trauma recovery.
I work with clients who are dealing with the full range of human experiences including relationship problems, grief, depression, self-esteem related difficulties, challenges with emotion regulation, anxiety/panic, trauma, and addictions. Looking at unhealed relational trauma and emotional neglect from childhood is a critical aspect of the work I do.
