“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed without being faced.”
James Baldwin (1924-1987)
therapy
I provide an environment of acceptance, understanding, and respect coupled with strong therapeutic skills to help you with the challenges you face.
collaborate
I work collaboratively and honestly with you to create an environment of mutuality as opposed to hierarchy. In this environment where moment to moment connection and awareness is cultivated, we approach the unique challenges that your life is presenting. I have trained in Existential-Humanistic therapy, Gestalt therapy, EFT Emotionally Focused therapy, and Narrative therapy.
trust
The foundations of healthy relationships are present in the therapist-client connection. The trust that we develop in the therapist-client relationship is fundamental to the evolution and success of our therapeutic work. In this relational approach I adapt therapy to each new therapy relationship.
As a depth-oriented therapist I work with you to deepen your awareness and understanding of your personal context and history, and to identify outworn patterns of living that are no longer serving your life. In my perspective all human beings are quite complex. I seek to provide respectful witness and guidance toward your knowing the more nuanced aspects of self and experience that continually shape choices and life.
The existential themes of human existence that lie beneath our daily struggles are commonly experienced throughout time. These themes are: the creation of meaning in our lives, belonging and isolation, choice and responsibility, limitation and freedom, and the mystery of living.
Exploring the experiences and choices for your way of living is the cornerstone of our work.
