We all long to be seen, heard, understood, acknowledged and loved. Healing occurs when we feel safe in our relationships and are able to connect to ourselves and with each other. We can then allow ourselves to be known and express what is true for us. I utilize a somatic, attachment-based, psychodynamic approach that gently explores old wounds and releases suppressed emotions which influence what you believe about yourself, determine the roles you play in life, and impact how you show up in the world. This approach reaches the root cause of your troubles.
By offering a journey of corrective experiences, I work with the parts of you that are stuck in the past due to being hurt, wronged, shamed, abandoned, or simply misunderstood. Through a compassionate, non-judgmental guided process, you will reach new understandings of who you truly are and what your possibilities are in the world.
The change that you will experience is deep, lasting and real. If this resonates with you, and you would like to explore what's blocking you from having the life and love that you desire, or you would just like to gain some insight into the challenges of daily life, I invite you to contact me for a free consultation. Thank you for your consideration!

Compassionate Inquiry is a psychotherapeutic approach created by Dr. Gabor Maté over several decades while working with both patients and retreat participants. This approach gently uncovers and releases the layers of childhood trauma, constriction and suppressed emotion embedded in the body, that are at the root of mental and physical illness and addiction.

When clients perceive the therapeutic relationship as a safe container, compassion and curiosity allow them to acknowledge and examine the traumatic events that happened to them as children, recognize the beliefs they internalized, and feel the emotions they suppressed. This contributes to the healing process.
