About My Clients
You're ambitious, sensitive and creative; and you've hit a road block in life. Maybe you’re functioning well, but struggling with creativity, relationships, grief, stress, trauma, or purpose. Maybe you’re not functioning well and traditional therapy approaches have failed to help. Spiraling emotions, confusion, feeling stuck, moments of rage, lacking libido, impulsivity, chronic tension or pain, and / or fear have become familiar and you're seeking change. I'm here to help!
My Background and Approach
My therapeutic approach is holistic and eclectic. I orient from a foundation of social justice, sex and body positivity, rooted in somatic and depth psychotherapies, and influenced by various wisdom traditions. My approach aims to explore the entire constellation of your life. In our work, we will explore your life through five distinct elements: mind, body, spirit, community, and environment, with attention to both your suffering and your goals. A typical session involves talk, in addition to somatic and / or creative exercises. Somatic and creative exercises allow us to drop below the conscious mind (default-mode network), and access the deeper parts of ourselves to weave real, lasting change. These exercises, which are tailored to your preferences and needs, are always offered as options and not requirements.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe healing is a process that involves exploration, observation and integration, in relationship with oneself and a trusted other. Rather than viewing symptoms or suffering as something to be “fixed”, I view symptoms as a creative expression of the unconscious. There is no perfect timing to begin a course of therapy, nor can we plan a spontaneous insight. I believe anyone can change and grow at anytime in their lives. In my own journey, I have explored deeply through yoga, meditation, bodywork, psychotherapy, and non-ordinary states of consciousness. I believe my own healing and personal growth process is a vital aspect to being a therapist, and hold the same commitment to that as I do continuing education.
