Our innate impulse is to heal, just as one can observe in nature. Sometimes though, our access to this resiliency is an ever winding path…with circumstances (events, relationships, socio-political climate) and behaviors impacting our ability to fulfill this impulse. In therapy with me, we will creatively collaborate to rediscover this path. We will hold your innate wisdom and resiliency alongside the parts that feel incongruent, sticky, stubborn and shameful–honoring that each part is communicating or responding to something, past and/or present. We will learn how to find balance in the fullness of you. I aim to meet each new relationship with a sense of reverence, care and deep listening… which means attending to the desire for warmth as well as a steady and direct presence. We will practice mindfulness, compassion and body awareness to gain insight into your experience, as well as to deepen below your narrative, and to that which may not yet be known. I welcome you, to be as you
