Many of my clients come to me after experiencing constant judgement and shame from their world. This becomes internalized and they often feel stuck from negative self-talk, anxiety or low self-esteem. My clients are not looking for ways to improve a symptom, but are looking to get in touch with their strengths and utilize parts of themselves that were lost. My clients are looking for a calm, nurturing environment where they can explore these issues in a playful manner.
I provide a person centered, non-judgmental presence, focusing on the present moment and integrating thoughts with reactions. As a Gestalt therapist, my style is experiential focusing on the therapeutic relationship. I utilize strategies such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy and play with children, teens and adults.
Throughout life, we learn to cope with trauma and stressors in the way we need to survive. These patterns may no longer serve us in the present. My work is to utilize your own strengths, body and imagination to adapt to a new situation and bring you closer to self-actualization.
