Hi, I’m glad you reached out.  Self-care is imperative these days as we face many stresses in life and often deal with loss and grief. Psychodynamic psychotherapy is an important part of this self-care and will help you to navigate difficult experiences and feelings, facilitating understanding of how they impact day to day interactions.  By using a cognitive, narrative, somatic and biological lens, I can help you create greater self-awareness and understanding of what you are feeling and how it impacts your relational experiences with others and yourself.  Patterns can be unconsciously operating and you may find you repeat these patterns over and over without realizing it.  My approach in therapy is unique to each client. I work with my clients collectively to help them make sense of their experience and increase self-awareness and understanding which allows space to embrace self-compassion and self-empowerment.  My practice includes but is not limited to working with trauma, grief, anxiety and depression, relationships, as well as intimate partner violence, and helping my clients learn to regulate their bodies and decrease anxiety.  I deeply care about your healing journey and creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can just be.  Often we learn to adapt in order to survive, but forget that that adaption may no longer be needed yet it is still operating.  Feelings are to be felt and befriended, never to be discounted or disavowed. Therapy helps to heal these parts of the self and re-integrate them into the body so you have more space to experience harmony and peace.
