For each of my clients, I weave together behavioral ( DBT, CBT, ACT) and somatic (Gestalt, Somatic Experiencing) approaches to shape the work specifically to you.
<- New sessions available mornings & evenings - New couples welcome -> Are you living with challenging routines like having the same fight over and over or the same negative thoughts about yourself each morning? Often, these painful patterns actually came out of an initial attempt to help care for yourself. My goal is to support you to explore how these patterns influence your life today and then to continue the ones that serve you and to change the ones that don’t. I support you to build new boundaries, to quiet shame and to invent new narratives of possibility to achieve the growth you're looking for.
