My Approach
While symptom management is an important part of therapy, my approach aims at the root cause of your distress. I believe we all make sense in the context of our lives and histories, and that approaching our patterns with the intention to understand, rather than control, leads to insight that supports change.
True transformation, however, happens when we go beyond understanding to process the mental, emotional, neurological, and physical remnants left by the experiences that impacted us.
Those remnants often don’t live in our logical minds, but rather in deeper, more unconscious parts of the brain. I use therapies that target the deeper parts of the brain directly. Because when shifts happen at this level, we feel them in our bones.
I know from experience as both a therapist and client that turning inward can be scary. For this reason, I take deliberate care to establish a sense of safety throughout the therapeutic work and connection. I’ll meet you where you are, and you can set the pace.
In session you’ll find me to be warm, attentive, non-judgemental, directive, and playful. I’ll support you to explore your inner world through a lens of curiosity and acceptance.
