A bit about myself

​​

My Approach

 

I believe that we are each complex mixtures of our histories and circumstances but that there is a significant amount of choice available to become the people we want to be. I like to think we all have a unique essence that can become lost over time as we navigate life's stressors. As a therapist, it's part of my job to hold space for confusion, restlessness, anxiety and even depression and despair.

 

Somatic (body-based techniques) and mindfulness can help bring awareness back to stress held in our bodies; emotion-focused techniques can help us identify buried truths that need to be honored and processed; a psychodynamic lens can support an exploration of painful childhood experiences.  I also focus on IFS (parts work) to explore inner conflicts that keep us feeling stuck or in limbo. I believe this is all an ongoing learning (and unburdening) process!

A little about me

​

On a personal level, I consider myself to be a kind of artist. I appreciate beautiful or strange things that resonate; enjoy connecting ideas and exploring connection in daily existence. I lean toward all things spiritual, understanding that as an individual, I don't know much - but I can learn through relationships. I grew up performing dance, playing sports, drawing, writing and enjoying music. I love intuitive movement, nature, philosophy and exploring how we create our realities as individuals and communities.

 

​My life experiences have created a mosaic of knowledge that has been very helpful to draw from. My four years of experience as a Registered Therapist have provided me with a wonderful introduction to this field. There is more information about my credentials on the next page.
