Do you sometimes feel alone and sad even with friends and family? Together, we can explore these feelings, transform them, and increase vitality. We will unravel issues that may be causing suffering or isolation; such as depression and anxiety, loss and grief, trauma, or substance abuse. We will face the dragons of suffering together, and unleash your wise and intuitive self to become empowered and embodied. Our work will allow you to remove the barriers to an emotionally close and satisfying relationship with yourself and others. This allows for a greater sense of joy & aliveness.
Freud said, "Therapy is a love cure." We will explore how perceived lack of interpersonal safety blocks the love we want. We will discover unacknowledged aspects of your being and delight in your "true" self. My short-term psychodynamic approach allows your core self to find peace & confidence.
Psycho-neurobiology shows us that emotional connection with others along with mindfulness activates neural growth and healing in our brains. My work is informed by AEDP (Emotion, body, & experiential focus), Internal Family Systems (parts work), Emotionally Focused Therapy, Jungian depth psychology, neurobiology, & brainspotting (a form of EMDR) for trauma.
