She/Her…. LGBTQIA+?
If you are struggling with your sexual identity or gender, you are safe with me. Amidst confusion and suffering, it helps to be reminded of the strengths and qualities that helped you survive. However we identify in the world, we all have potential, intelligence and creativity.
I work from a stance of “what is right with you, and what have you done to get you from there to here?”
We all imagine, and imagining the worst is part of our history as humans. When my therapist taught me how to skillfully use my imagination, I had a new lease on life. My healing journey informs my work as a therapist.
I listen. I operate on the principle that on the deepest level you are the one who knows what you need. My role is to guide you and help you manage triggers, memories, panic, and fear when old history or present-day trauma interferes with daily life.
You will learn about the gifts of imagination, and what it means to become aware of inner resources already present within. You will gain an experiential awareness of that “inner space” where you can find a source of balance.
Therapeutic approaches I use focus on your inherent potential, goodness, and wholeness. I use a blend of tools from my Psychosynthesis studies and personal healing, as well as Bessel van der Kolk’s trauma informed training, and my advanced studies Clinical Meditation and Imagery.
With awareness, there is change.
