My therapeutic approach is open, warm, compassionate, and curious. I integrate Psychology and Buddhism and believe a holistic approach that attends to body, mind, and sprit is crucial to healing. Foundational to my practice is the idea that a deep wisdom resides within all of us. I strive to co-create a safe space where individuals can explore the lightest and darkest aspects of self without the self-judgment and criticism so prevalent in our culture. When trauma and pain are witnessed and individuals feel seen and understood, wisdom can prevail so that one can heal, while recognizing and actualizing their potential and chosen path.
I specialize in depression, anxiety, and PTSD and work with survivors of rape, bullying, neglect, loss, and other types of trauma. I believe identifying and processing painful experiences with compassion helps alleviate self-harming behaviors that serve as coping mechanisms. A tender, secure, and trusting therapeutic relationship is integral to this process.
My 20 years immersed in Eastern practices of yoga and meditation inform my practice. I utilize a psychodynamic approach that incorporates mindfulness and meditative practices to facilitate self-compassion, gentleness, and understanding towards others and oneself. I take a collaborative approach and believe the therapeutic relationship is crucial to healing.
