The depth tradition holds that all healing begins with a call or a longing manifested through symptoms like depression, anxiety, discontent, pain, or illness. If we choose to accept the invitation of our symptoms and our pain, we may discover that they can be life's unique way of getting our attention ~ drawing us into a deeper engagement and collaboration with our authentic self. Symptoms invite us to consider what needs shifting, shedding, grieving, loving, embracing; what is true, meaningful, creative, and life affirming. I welcome the opportunity to assist you in your process of self discovery, growth and healing.
I work with a broad range of issues including conflictual relationships, sexual dysfunction, addictions, eating disorders and trauma. These issues are most often remnants of early childhood experiences and family dysfunction. The aftermath can lead to emotional distress in adult life.
Therapy provides an environment of acceptance and understanding, allowing you to face the difficulties and challenges you are experiencing. Together, in collaboration, we work to understand feelings and resolve difficulties that get in the way of your happiness and well-being.
