“I will hear and see you with compassion. This allows your wise and intuitive self to become more empowered. As our therapeutic relationship grows, you will find your relationship with yourself and others will become more emotionally intimate and satisfying. We will unravel issues that may be causing suffering or isolation, such as trauma, loss and grief, substance abuse, depression and anxiety. Difficult relationships can be rescued from resentment and coldness to create warmth and supportiveness. As you make meaning from past experiences, you will discover choices for creating a richer life. Our work together will be validating and healing.
A vibrant life requires experiencing emotions rather than numbing them. For example, we will explore anger and grief to understand the treasures to be harvested from those powerful emotions. This work will allow you to be more connected with others.
Psycho-neurobiology shows us that mindful living, meditation, and emotional intimacy with others activates neural growth and healing in our brains. My work is informed by Jungian depth psychology, neurobiology, emotional literacy and healing, and brainspotting (an advanced form of EMDR) for lowering the emotions of traumatic experiences.”
