ABOUT THERAPY

Many people who seek counseling are facing something that has significantly impacted their world and left them feeling the need to address their experience at a deeper level.  Anything from painful changes in a relationship to the death of a loved one, issues with health or work, feelings of profound loneliness, chronic illness or loss of meaning in life can motivate us to explore what we are thinking and feeling, and discover new approaches to navigate our experience.

At the core of my work is the understanding that an authentic and trusting relationship between therapist and client is vital to the healing process. I bring warmth, curiosity, presence and respect to my clinical sessions and aim to foster a safe, sacred space in which thoughts and feelings may be expressed freely and openly without fear of judgment. Through a collaborative process, I assist each individual on a path toward natural growth, positive change and an enduring sense of self-empowerment.

Using treatment modalities best suited to your needs and situation, we will deepen understanding of challenges and explore difficult, complex feelings in a way that promotes healing. A key part of the process may be considering how your life has evolved and informs your perspectives and expectations, sometimes in ways outside of your awareness. Our ongoing conversation is the place of discovery and meaning making that leads to a greater sense of belonging, vitality and wholeness of being.
