I am deeply curious about what is happening in your mind and in your experience of your body, and wish to create an authentic therapeutic relationship with you. As a Contemplative Psychotherapist, I believe that all beings are fundamentally whole and posses a natural wisdom and therefore regard you as your own best expert. This wisdom may be temporarily covered over or clouded, but nonetheless, it is there and may be reconnected with moment to moment. I help clients to recognize this wholeness within themselves in order to promote healing in the mind and body.
My style of therapy offers us the opportunity to journey together to uncover this deep inner wisdom where qualities of calmness, curiosity, clarity, compassion, confidence, creativity, courage, and connectedness reside and from there we are able to explore and reconnect to the full spectrum of your being.
To help you to allow your brilliant self to fully emerge, I use a combination of the following modalities: Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Touch Skills for Trauma, Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) and A Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT).
I work with individuals and couples anywhere from adolescents to senior citizens.
