About My Clients
Are you feeling limited or blocked from your full potential? Do you desire to express yourself more freely but are held back by performance anxiety or low self-esteem? Maybe overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Many of the clients I work with are individuals or couples going through life transitions, dealing with stress, anxiety, unresolved experiences or past traumas, and are ready to try something deeper than just talking.
My Background and Approach
I use a compassionate approach that includes Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and other methods including traditional talk therapy tailored to your unique needs. I am trained in approaches that can help us go beyond talking when necessary, gently exploring the deeper layers of emotion, memory, and inner experience to support lasting healing and greater self-connection. During some sessions, clients may find there is more silence than usual, as they are able to experience a safe space to feel through their experiences in the calm presence of a therapeutic relationship. Other sessions may consist of talking through recent stressors or future goals so we can find the emotional and somatic connection to explore with curiosity. With over 20 years of experience as a professional musician, I continue to pursue specialized training in working with performers, including actors, musicians, and athletes who wish to expand into their ideal performance or "flow state."
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that people are naturally wired to move toward healthier patterns, whether it is biologically, psychologically, or socially. Oftentimes, the problem itself may be a symptom of a constraint in the system which is holding the client back from their full potential. Helping to find and release the constraints can allow wellbeing to flow as a natural process. My experience as a professional musician has taught me to truly attune to others on multiple levels, noticing subtle body language shifts or unspoken feelings, following the client's lead as they delve into previously unexplored internal territory. Continually adapting to the changes in the client's perceptions and communications, while gently remembering their unique goals for therapy, allows for change to occur in an organic way.
