Psychotherapy has transformed and evolved over the decades from Freudian psychoanalysis (lying on the couch) to psychodynamic therapies to cognitive behavioral therapies, and is now leaning into experiential, body based and emotion focused therapies. The latest research is demonstrating the power of reconnecting with our emotions and experiencing them with a safe other as being transformative and deeply healing. Most of the modalities of therapy I use embody this approach and I gently and courageously encourage my clients to experience this often newer way of being with themselves and others in the world.

I use a “here and now” approach to bring your issues to life by gently and respectfully helping explore how you experience them within yourself- in your thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations. This “live” experience helps avoid “talking” about problems or reporting issues, which can feel helpful but rarely are transformative or get to the “root” of the issue. We use real examples and situations in your life to notice repetitive patterns and long held beliefs about yourself or others. It takes tremendous courage to begin this journey of discovery, and I am right beside you along the way. I aim to create a warm, empathic and caring therapeutic relationship that allows you to feel safe being deeply heard and understood, which I believe is vital for personal transformation and growth.
