Whatever your burden of care or anxiety, whatever your sorrow or worry, whatever your problem or pain, there is hope. I've worked successfully with many who have struggled with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and traumatic experiences...both small and large. You will be welcomed into a space designed for your healing and to an atmosphere of positive regard and non-shaming.
My counseling approach is relational and as a beginning to your healing I will be seeking to deeply hear and understand you. Over time, as the relationship develops, you will likely discover deeper insights into yourself. Along the way, emotions will provide valuable keys to understanding your needs.
I have a strong appreciation for the mind/body connection using mindfulness and somatic awareness throughout sessions.
I draw on psychodynamic and attachment theories to help clients gain insight and perspective into how their past experiences may be influencing them today. I hope to build therapeutic relationships where clients feel safe, understood, and valued.
