It's one of the most disheartening experiences to sit with a therapist who doesn't understand you or your lived experience. Somehow you wind up talking in circles, never getting to the root or the heart of the issue, never finding resolution or feeling better. I am here to listen, to care & to hear that essence beneath your words which language can't always capture. I am here to help you see what you may not be seeing clearly. I am here to help you connect to your body & feel your wholeness. Hi, my name is Vee. I’m a Holistic Psychotherapist & it'd be my joy to support you in reaching your mind-body-spirit-soul & relationship goals!

There’s great healing in relationship, and the therapeutic relationship is the most important part of the process. Change can only occur when you feel safe and connected. I put a lot of importance on getting to know each other and building a trusting relationship, because that’s where the real work happens. We can be playful, curious, creative, tender, and a whole lot more.

The whole world is going through a lot right now. We could all use some additional support. Whether you are feeling affected by global issues, national events, or personal challenges in your life, I can offer you support to feel more grounded and emotionally prepared. I work with individuals with diverse backgrounds that are looking to reconnect with their internal and external resources. In our work together, we can restore those strong, healthy, and resilient parts of yourself.

I enjoy engaging individuals and couples seeking a supportive, active, direct, honest collaboration. My goal is to both address uncomfortable, painful conflict or struggles and facilitate more enlivened, loving connections to self and others. Individuals come in confronting challenges in love, work, family, health, school, trauma or loss. In couples therapy, I work with partners young and old, seeking early relationship or premarital counseling or bumping up against difficulty with intimacy and/or sex, parenting partnership, betrayal, infertility, remarriage, step-parenting, money or retirement, and/or on the brink of a break-up.

Imagine feeling less shame and more connected to those around you. Imagine having more space from your inner critic/judge while having more patience and compassion for yourself and others. Imagine moving from perceptions of “not good enough” to feeling more "whole". Feeling less confused and more confident and clear about yourself and important life goals/decisions. Imagine unburdening from past traumas that still negatively impact your life and present relationships, shifting from helplessness to empowerment and healing from painful past hurts and moving forward with more connection, clarity, love, compassion and safety.

Hope, resilience, renewal, expansion. We all have a fundamental need, and the innate capacity to heal, grow and flourish. It is a sign of your strength and striving for health that you are seeking support from a professional. With a safe, affirming therapeutic relationship as our base we can harness the power of your strengths to transform what may be blocking you from living your full potential.

I am a trained and experienced therapist in relational psychoanalysis as well as traumatology. I was part of bringing these two together some decades ago.

I am an open and informal person by nature yet, of course, I work within professional boundaries. It is about you. I look forward to meeting you.

Regardless of what you are dealing with, I believe in the potential to harness your inner resources to heal and grow. Connecting deeply with the right therapist can help you get to where you want to be. When you become more aware of what is going on consciously and unconsciously in your mind and body, you can be more effectual, less anxious and/or depressed, and have more energy and joy in your life. As I get to know you and we create a safe and meaningful relationship, we can make fundamental changes that will have a lasting effect.
