There is no way around the fact that life throws ongoing curve balls, and sometimes those balls feel enormously overwhelming. I see therapy as a means to help people move through their suffering and finds better ways to experience their life and develop aspects of their brain that equip them to feel more joy, inner comfort, inner integration and meaning. I work empathically to build awareness of repetitive patterns, gain relief from emotional pain and help build deeper connections to oneself and others. My careful use of attunement and connecting one's core self to younger "parts" of the mind creates deep change.
I have extensive training and experience in powerful therapeutic approaches so that I am able to help clients quickly find healing and integration. I work with people who have a wide range of symptoms and goals for individuals, couples and families.
A combination of many years of experience, attunement, and wonderful techniques have allowed me to help people make profound and long lasting changes in their lives.
