Let’s start with right now. Let’s pause long enough to invite awareness. Let’s get curious about what matters to you and expand what is possible. The work is solely focused on the changes you want to make. My approach is pragmatic, strength-based, and non-pathologizing. My style is warm, conversational, and direct. My intention is to help you create your preferred life. I collaborate with my clients to adopt healthier coping skills & more flexible ways of thinking about themselves and their situations. So tell me, what’s going on in your life? What are you up against? How do you cope? What’s working and what’s not?
I have specialized training in EMDR, which was designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories; Talk therapy, which helps identify thoughts, beliefs, and assumptions that make life harder; Body-centered psychotherapy which can help relieve the negative effects of trauma and emotional pain.
You don’t have to stay stuck in habitual patterns that don’t serve you. Therapy can expand your capacity for happiness and joy, while also building awareness, skills & resilience. It's a relational and collaborative process where you feel supported and able to look at your life’s challenges. Call for a free 15-minute phone consult.
