Therapist Overview
I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal, change, and grow. Some of us were either not given the proper tools or were taught faulty ways of operating in the world that no longer serve us. While many of these “coping mechanisms” may have helped us survive our family of origin and life circumstances, they can have a detrimental impact on our present wellbeing and current relationships. Therapy is often about unlearning old ways of behaving and thinking, while integrating unfelt emotions that usually just want to be felt. I offer a relationship-focused space of deep listening and unconditional positive regard. I have training in mindfulness-based approaches, family-systems, and somatic (body) based modalities. I meet client’s where they are and tailor my approach according to their needs. With a diverse array of training my hope is to be of maximum service to all I encounter. I recognize that it can be hard to share parts of self that may have been locked in a basement for the better part of some people’s life. Being vulnerable is not necessarily easy, however it can be very rewarding. My hope is that you will see your seeking help not as a sign of weakness but as a sign of strength that you are willing to heal and to grow.
