My Approach
I offer a warm and conversational approach to support individuals and couples in the process of exploration, reflection, and healing. Working collaboratively, I will help you bring awareness to the patterns of thinking or engaging with others that may no longer be serving you. By deepening your understanding of the roots and impact of these patterns and extending compassion towards the parts of yourself that developed them initially, you can begin to cultivate some space and freedom from their hold on you and live with more ease and clarity.
My training is grounded in relational psychodynamic therapy and I draw upon somatic and cognitive-behavioral techniques. This means that our work may involve explorative, insight-focused talk therapy as well as body-oriented mindfulness to get in touch with all parts of yourself and restore a sense of connectedness to your emotions, body, self and to others in your life. We may also look at ways of thinking or relating that were once adaptive, but are no longer serving you, and I will help you develop tools to move away from these patterns.
