Are you busy caring for others but running on empty? Do you manage a lot, but underneath struggle with your own anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, food or body image issues or unresolved trauma? Does a part of you long for more connection in your close relationships (partner or friendships)? Are your struggles needing your attention? Let's give you the attention you need and deserve. I look forward to creating a safe, attuned therapy relationship with you in which you can feel seen, understood and cared for. We will listen closely to your feelings, actions, thoughts, bodily sensations and even your dreams to foster greater self-awareness and self-compassion. We will work with 'difficult' emotions, helping you to process them. We will also track your patterns in intimate relationships and your attachment styles to help you become more secure and free to give and receive love from a place of greater health. We can use the therapy relationship as a context to experience how you relate and what you need. We can discover not only what keeps you stuck in your struggle but also what will help you find relief and connection. As needed, I can help you process trauma (single incident or repeated, complex) with a gentle, steady approach. Together we can listen to the mind and body to understand the negative beliefs you hold as a result of the trauma. We can also use different methods for working through the unprocessed pain. EMDR (eye movement, desensitization and reprocessing) is one specific form of trauma treatment I incorporate, as appropriate. For those who desire spiritual integration, I can help people understand themselves as it pertains to their faith journey. I can be a safe place to deconstruct harmful beliefs andor reconstruct helpful beliefs and practices. In all of these processes I trust that the rest, intimacy, acceptance, change, relief and creativity you desire will emerge.

I am the Director of the Soul Restoration Project, a group practice and training center for depth-oriented psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families. I also provide clinical supervision. I also provide life coaching for therapists finding their niche and direction and for people who want help attuning to their emotions, ie: emotion-coaching.

1. Personal fit. Did you resonate with what they wrote and how they presented online? Did you experience them as the kind of person you could open up to? Did you feel some hope that working with this person could help? 2. Professional fit. Does their training fit your need? Do you think their theoretical approach will be helpful for you? Have they worked with others similar to you? 3. Logistical fit. Do they have a day and time that works for you regularly? Do you want in-person or virtual? Is the fee doable for weekly sessions? All of these things matter.
