My Approach to Therapy

Ill help you work through the tightness in your chest, the "mehs," the "ughs," and those repetitive mental loops. Together, well explore these in a focused and intentional way, actively working to transform them. I bring over 18 years of experience as a full-time therapist, working from a Gestalt orientation, and Im certified in EMDR therapy. Im a good fit if youre looking for active, hands-on sessions and are open to trying new approaches. Ill offer you suggestions and activities during our sessions to help you build deeper awareness and self-perception skillsgoing beyond simply recognizing your thoughts and feelings to create a foundation for meaningful change. Together, well work to strengthen your emotional capacity and actively shift and transform your thoughts and feelings. Reach out for a free 15-minute video consultation. Let me know what youre looking for, and Ill let you know if I can help and how I plan to support you.

My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy

Change doesn?t happen by forcing yourself to be different?it happens through deep awareness. The Paradoxical Theory of Change says that the more you truly see and accept yourself as you are, the more space you create for real transformation. When you stop resisting your experience and bring awareness to what?s actually happening in the present, change starts to unfold naturally.
