Psychotherapy

Welcome to the process of taking in deep nourishment. Of receiving care and attention to your inner world. Here, you are held in worthiness . . . no matter what.

If you find yourself here, there are likely elements of your life that you are hoping to transform. Therapy is the cocoon that guides and supports you through the process of metamorphosis, so that you get to emerge embodying that which you are most longing for.

In this holding environment, you get to bring all parts of yourself and your truth. Indeed, this is needed for the deepest transformation to occur. Nothing is too big or too small, too intense or too mundane, to bring into the circle of holding.

Therapy does not make life “easier” or your problems “go away.” However, through being deeply witnessed and tended, you are empowered to develop your inner resilience to meet Life on Life’s terms, with sturdiness, wisdom, and confidence.

As a therapist, I believe in...

...Healing through collaborative relationship

The healing power of therapy stems in large part from in the process of our relationship. There is such potent medicine in being seen and held, and in feeling all parts of you are welcome at the table. My intention is always to build the kind of trust with my clients where they can ask to go slower or faster, where they can be fully honest about feeling frustrated with me or the process, where they can voice the true impact that our work is having.

...Orienting towards integration of paradox

So much of healing and personal growth is about integrating opposites: taking care of ourselves AND others; accepting ourselves as we are AND reaching for more of what we want in Life; giving ourselves the structure & accountability we need AND having flexibility to meet ourselves where we are. In therapy, we practice living in the space of AND together.

...Another paradox: therapy is both an art and a science

Throughout my career, I have compiled a diverse array of evidence-based psychological and somatic tools to help others move toward regulation, wholeness and thriving. Simultaneously, I am always listening deeply for the unique song of the soul that is wanting to find expression through the person in front of me. I love finding the just-right balance between structure and fluidity that feels most supportive to each of my clients.

Modalities

We will weave in a myriad of techniques to create a rhythm that works for your unique needs and circumstances. Some of the modalities that will inform our work include:

A Note About My Approach

I tend to be skeptical of superficial quick fixes. It is simply not in my nature to be oriented toward "quickly moving on" or avoiding the hard stuff.

This doesn't mean healing will take forever, nor that we rush. We'll go at just the right pace for your brain and body, and you have so much autonomy and choice in what the process looks like. Yet if you say Yes to working with me, my hope and intention is that you are saying Yes to healing and thriving at the deepest level, body and mind and soul.

I know that it takes great courage to reach for what you long for but have not yet experienced. You'll know if the Yes is right for you.
