In talk therapy I use a primarily cognitive-behavioral approach, bringing attention to the cycle of thoughts, feelings, and actions that are connected to our overall state of well-being. Working on that cycle can reduce anxiety, depression, and anger, and lead to more positive regard for ourselves and stronger relationships with the people in our lives. I also am certified to integrate mind-body awareness and healing with EMDR, a therapy that helps resolve intense feelings about painful past experiences, and the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), a music program that helps regulate the nervous system and improve related symptoms.

Life is not without its challenges, setbacks and transitions, and you do not have to go through it alone. Working together we can explore problems in a collaborative and supportive way.

Throughout life, we all gather scrapes, bruises, and cuts. We usually do our best to clean these wounds and move on. However, sometimes we're too busy, unable, or too nervous to tend to them properly, so we cover them up quickly. In the early stages of therapy, we may need to revisit these old wounds, gently unwrapping the bandages. By discussing these challenges, we can develop coping mechanisms that promote healing. Over time, what once hurt deeply can transform into a less visible scar.

I believe that symptoms are the psyche's way of communicating, urging us to delve deeper into understanding and nourishing our inner selves. I aim to foster acceptance and understanding, even of the parts of ourselves we may find objectionable, recognizing their inherent value in our journey towards wholeness. Together, we'll explore the depths of your experiences, understanding that the work is often most intense where the soul resides. We will also clarify your values and character strengths within the fluid fabric of human experience. My goal is to support you in living with greater clarity, peace, intuition, and sense of self.
