About My Clients
The way I work is a good fit if you struggle with childhood trauma or neglect, anxiety, self-esteem, shame and inadequacy, depression, or entrenched relationship challenges. Are you unsatisfied in your life and relationships, or confused about why your issues persist despite your efforts to change? Do you yearn to feel more confident, safe, and whole? If you believe you have the potential to change, but are unsure how to get there, you don’t have to walk the path alone.
My Background and Approach
I work with individuals and couples using attachment-based, emotion-focused, somatic, and relational approaches. For couples, I use Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy. For individuals, I blend several trauma-focused approaches, including Internal Family Systems and AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy). In each session, I strive to help you feel understood and supported. We’ll work to create new healing experiences that can soften and transform stuck emotional patterns leftover from the past or that are playing out currently in your relationship. You’ll understand your challenges and the path to change with new clarity, and you’ll have a caring companion to make the journey with you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in the fundamental validity of every human being and strive to create a safe and welcoming environment for all clients. I honor and validate the experiences of clients of all different cultural, racial, sexual, and gender identities, and of all ages, bodies, abilities, religions, and backgrounds. I believe our society has developed in harmful ways that make us increasingly alienated from the basic needs for authentic connection to ourselves, others, and nature. There are many ills we face, to name a few: the consumption and comparison-driven nature of our society, the threats of economic and health insecurity, the countless addictions and mechanisms of numbing, structural inequalities, and widespread isolation. All of these take a great toll. Although these issues are daunting to change, therapy can help us navigate this world in more sane ways. Despite the uncertainties of these times, I believe we can all bring more meaning, compassion, and authenticity into our lives.
