As a somatic psychotherapist I will often guide you to pay attention to your body. This practice not only helps you to regulate your nervous system but also connect deeply and authentically with yourself. There is nothing more empowering than accessing your own wisdom and making real change. A body-centered approach to therapy can also help you go deeper with the work as it goes beyond traditional talk therapy. We will target implicit, subconscious material often tied to self-limiting patterns, with the ultimate goal of helping you love, trust, and align fully with who you are. Such positive changes from within can have a profound ripple effect towards others and the world around you.

My approach is also significantly informed by attachment psychology. I will help you understand and appreciate how your past influences the present. Often our problematic patterns in adulthood started as necessary coping mechanisms for difficult childhood experiences. And while these patterns were necessary to survive emotional pain, they can be self-defeating as adults and damaging to relationships. I also lean heavily towards ego state therapy and parts-work, wherein I support you to face your hurts with courage and compassion, release old habits that no longer serve you, and to lead life as the competent, wise adult that you truly are.
