Are you looking for greater fulfillment in various parts of your life? Maybe you’re a student or professional with a history of achievement yet feel disconnected from yourself and others or feel held back by long standing patterns, beliefs, and expectations. Has this lead to shame, loneliness, imposture syndrome, or difficulty feeling satisfied and secure? Self exploration in the therapeutic process offers a pathway for greater understanding of your internal world and the emotional wounds your body carries. In the room, you will learn to tolerate difficult emotions and bring more choice and intention to your daily life.
My approach is down to earth, curious, and compassionately direct. I work collaboratively with you to help you achieve your goals. My style incorporates awareness of the past with a focus on improving satisfaction in the present. Together we will experiment with new ways of being allowing us to discover and accept all the parts of your internal world.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of change and progress in therapy. I have a strong record of success using humor, reflection, and kindness in a way that empowers you to identify capacities, increase insight, and develop skills to direct your own life. Let’s start this healing discovery together. Try a free 15 min consult.
