Each person is unique and has been shaped by their personality, identity, past history, and current experiences. The goal of therapy is to help individuals enter into a life that is meaningful, effective, and rewarding. It’s about partnering in exploration, challenging perspectives, and working together to identify those patterns that are keeping you stuck.

Throughout our therapy work together, our focus is on becoming a coherent whole, creating an internal space of safety, a place where your own self-expression, passion, and power can flourish. Therapy is a place where a person can reintegrate those parts of their mind, emotions, and body that have been fighting against each other, hindering freedom. A place where you can learn to mindfully respond to the challenging situations around you rather than react to them.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

Many people seek individual therapy for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, difficulties with body image, relationship stress, stress management, and health difficulties, just to name a few. In this therapy work, we experiment with new perspectives and develop skills that allow you to free yourself from the patterns that are no longer serving you. We process the somatic, emotional, and mental pain that has impacted your life. We practice somatic experiencing, expanding one’s ability to sense and be present to joy, pleasure, security, and empowerment. We explore your passions and desires, building the skills necessary to open into the fullest expression of your true nature. Our work together is not simply about reducing distress, but rather expanding into your own identity and self-efficacy, embracing the joy, freedom, and fulfillment open to you.

MARRIAGE AND COUPLES COUNSELING

Relationships can be challenging as each person brings their own set of interaction patterns and perspectives into the relationship. Many relationships struggle with limited connection, intimacy, and enjoyment. There can be an accumulation of painful experiences that shut down connection between partners, leading to feeling isolated and alone within the relationship. Working on identifying connection styles and relational patterns, building communication and conflict resolution skills, working through barriers to intimacy, increasing sexual connection and satisfaction, and developing intimate connection with your partner can all be a focus of couple’s counseling.

MINDFULNESS CLASS

We now have a weekly, online, 30 minute mindfulness class where we explore a particular concept of mindfulness and engage in a short mindfulness practice. This class is free and open to anyone interested in learning more about mindfulness.

inclusion

In this work, everyone is welcome. We celebrate and honor all aspects of diversity, whether that be race, ethnic background, sexual orientation, gender identity, neurodiversity, age, physical (dis)ability, socioeconomic status, or religion. We celebrate the diverse traditions, strengths, and perceptions that these varied backgrounds bring in life and how they enhance therapy work together. Many people who are part of marginalized groups have experienced the traumas of prejudice and discrimination, voices silenced and unsupported, feeling alienated and minimized by systemic oppression. Therapy may be a place to have your story heard, your experiences validated, your trauma seen and processed. All life is held as sacred in this place.

It can be difficult to begin therapy. There are many reasons why people hesitate even while knowing it may be a necessary process. I would love to discuss these hesitations with you and discuss what may be the best fit for you.
