My Approach to Helping
We enter life as brand-new beings, open to the world in its entirety - but along the way our experiences, heartaches, and hardships can lead us far away from ourselves and make it harder to connect with the people we love. I help individuals, couples, and families in therapy by offering a safe space for you to investigate and integrate old hurts, understand yourself and your partner more deeply, and access your deepest inner resources.
I work primarily from an attachment-lens, which means I am interested in our early experiences in relationships, as well as the messages we've internalized in our bodies and nervous systems about belonging, safety, and care. I help clients begin to tune into their authentic emotional experience to build self-compassion and self-understanding. I also utilize aspects of internal family systems, somatic therapy approaches, and transpersonal psychology models. In my work with couples and relationships, I draw on aspects of emotionally-focused therapy and other attachment perspectives, and I work to bring greater attention and understanding to the emotional processes occurring beneath the surface, making vulnerability safer, and giving our emotions more space to be attended to and understood. I also incorporate a family systems focus to explore families-of-origin and potential intergenerational patterns that might be showing up in your current relationship.
