Trying to be a happy, healthy, creative human in today’s world requires new skills to face new challenges. Overwhelming anxiety, depression, and relationship instability are often products of our ancient nervous system struggling to adapt to an environment with new rules, new pressures, and old wounds. As a species we are subjected to increasing pressure to perform, produce, and project a life that is at once effortless and perfect. The reality is far from this however, and humans need support, love, and patience in the face of failure in order to thrive.
I believe that the way to overcome these myriad pressures is to look inward. By harnessing our ability to practice inquiry, re-building our emotions as tools and allies, and looking to our past to retake our future and present, we can claim our lives.
I provide a therapeutic approach that bridges evidence-based modalities with experiential practices to create a space and relationship where my clients can feel safe and take the risks we need to grow and learn. My goal is to guide clients towards the life they deserve, and that only they can identify.
