Scared, anxious, depressed, frustrated, stuck...? Looking to deepen your relationships and resolve on-going conflicts? Experiencing painful loss, a difficult transition, or trauma? I help shed light on unconscious motives, patterns, and beliefs that are no longer serving you in order to allow healing and positive changes to occur. Just as importantly I focus on utilizing your strengths so they better support you in this process. I listen deeply and compassionately in a safe, relaxing setting. And always with absolute positive regard. I work with individuals, couples and families.
Modalities can vary: from mindfulness-based to EMDR; self-talk to improving communication; expressive arts to family-of-origin issues; diet to exercise; body-centered to imaginal work; embracing those parts disowned to CBT/DBT; breath work to meditation. A keen interest in neuroscience also sheds light on how we process & heal from our difficult experiences.
A strong background in the arts also informs my work and I support your spiritual growth if that is an area of need. Actively and empathically listening to what challenges and issues you bring to our session directs me in finding the best approach at any given time--we work creatively together.
