My goal is to co-create a trusting relationship that offers the opportunity to explore and change psychological patterns so that you can live to your fullest potential and happiness - problems such as anxiety and depression cannot truly be treated until we can articulate together what patterns give rise to them. 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. Grieving unhealed relational trauma and emotional neglect from childhood is an important aspect of the work of therapy.
My dog, Rosie, usually joins me at work, but can stay home as needed.
