Therapist Overview
My approach is interactive. After all, because I believe that healing comes through the caring and dynamic engagement created between two human beings, our time together would be a collaboration that encourages mutual presence and relatedness. Research confirms the importance of this. While no specific technique is consistently effective in eliciting change; certain therapists, who bring a particular quality to their work, often are. I believe I am such a therapist and my clients consistently report feeling nurtured and empowered by our work together. This work involves exploring the patterns and perceptions that influence you as well discovering ways to shift and expand these dynamics to allow for more freedom and joy. The therapy will progress and move according to your needs though I often find that exploring myth, astrology, and dreams together can be powerful ways to facilitate the process. I strive to create an atmosphere that allows you to feel seen and heard in all your complexity. Perhaps most importantly, I will also invite and help you to find and own the answers you have within you.
