Do you find yourself struggling in your most intimate personal relationships? Or feel like you're constantly playing small to make everyone else around you happy? Feeling misunderstood or unseen in your closest connections, is often a very lonely place to be. I can help you make sense of what seems like confusing interpersonal dynamics, so that you can begin to feel the genuine connection and sense of beloning we all crave as human beings. The self-knowledge, skills and insights you gain in session, are an investment into yourself and all your future relationships.
I see clients who are struggling with complex relationship dynamics, depression and anxiety, moods disorders, life transitions such as divorce, remarriage, parenting teens, as well as clients pursuing spiritual integration and growth work. I apply a variety of modalities working with my clients such as CBT, Gestalt, & Polyvagel Theory.
I understand that you have an expert view into your own life. As your therapist my job is to learn about you! How your values, background, experiences, dreams and aspirations, shape your perspectives. In session, I hold space for you to examine self-limiting beliefs, out dated value structures and negative self-concepts which have outgrown their usefulness.
