Starting Therapy
Individual Therapy
My work with individuals is relational. Rather than focusing narrowly on symptoms, this work unfolds through reflection, dreams, symbolism, and the language of the unconscious, alongside the body, which holds its own kind of knowing. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I help people develop a relationship to their body as a resource: a place to return to, regulate through, and draw on when navigating the ordinary and extraordinary ups and downs of life. Over time, this combination of depth and somatic work becomes a way of understanding not just what’s troubling you, but who you are becoming.
Life Transitions
If there is one constant, we know that changes and transitions in life never stop. Whether a change we desire such as marriage, a baby, a job promotion or relocating to a new home, all change can be stressful, overwhelming and frustrating. Painful changes such as divorce, job loss or trauma can take a significant toll on our ability to move through life with ease and energy. You may even notice that you struggle to make decisions or feel “stuck” in your ability to take the next step forward.
You are not alone in your struggle to process life transitions. Nearly everyone runs into changes that create feelings of fear, anxiety or uncertainty. Generally, it is not major mental health issues that bring people to therapy, It is often the need to challenge ourselves and learn to push past limitations that enables us to move through life with resiliency.
Anxiety Treatment
Anxiety impacts most people in some way every day. We experience anxiety and stress from our jobs, families and relationships. We can often feel an increase in stress and anxiety when turbulent events or changes have settled. What’s more, anxiety has noticeable physiological symptoms such as increased heart rate, trouble breathing, racing thoughts, feeling overwhelmed by sounds, lights, places or people.
By using specific tools and skills we can begin to slow down and support your body and mind in its capacity to experience ease.
Couples Therapy
My work with couples is aimed at developing a richer level of relational and emotional intimacy — the kind that can’t be reached through communication techniques alone. Carl Jung wrote that the psyche is always longing for wholeness, and I believe this is true not only of individuals but of relationships themselves: a couple, like a person, has an inner life of its own, with its own longing to become whole.
This means the work often asks both partners to explore the unconscious patterns — their own, and the shared unconscious life of the relationship — rather than staying at the level of surface conflict. Real transformation, for the self and for the relationship, tends to come from this deepening, not from managing symptoms on the surface.
