I believe that every individual has the wisdom to know how to heal themselves and the courage to face life's challenges and grow from them. It is my job, as a therapist, to help you connect with this innate wisdom and courage. In therapy, I work to create a space where you can feel safe and understood enough to be challenged. Within this space, we will explore your current difficulties and approach them in ways that fit you and build upon your unique strengths and personality. We will address both current symptoms for short-term relief, as well as the source of these issues, for lasting, long-term change.
My therapeutic style is integrative, which allows me to tailor therapy specifically to your needs. I draw primarily upon Relational Psychodynamic, Emotion-Focused, Somatic Experiencing and Mindfulness-and-Compassion-Based approaches.
I am currently also offering short-term, mindfulness-based coping skills training for anxiety and depression. If you are interested in learning how to use meditation, imagery, and breath work to manage symptoms, but are not ready for a full course of therapy, this option may be for you!
