There are many reasons you may enter into therapy including the need for support, difficulties in your life or relationships, trauma, or problems rooted in the past. Psychotherapy helps work with relevant aspects of your difficulties and strengths as well as provides a container for growth and greater well being.

I support this process by way of holding an intuitive, attentive container, helping you to resolve and integrate, finding more wholeness and clarity.  We do this by way of accessing your body’s innate wisdom to help you make sense of what isn’t yet know or is unseen. When these aspects of us are integrated, traumas can be healed, relationships restored, transitions negotiated with more grace, our health more intact.

Moreover, what arises in the relationship between us in the moment is an essential part of our work together. I believe in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship.

I apply several tools to the practice of counseling including Focusing technique  which accesses sensations in the body as a spring boards for increased understanding, awareness and resolution of unresolved issues. Mindfulness and behavioral practices are incorporated as a way of gaining greater self mastery and being able to make better choices.

I like Victor Frankl’s words “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom.” This statement speaks wisely to our ability to use our free will to create positive change in our lives and I work to help my clients increase this capacity.

Given that my background is varied and includes training in psychotherapeutic, body based and spiritually oriented modalities, I may incorporate aspects of each into your therapy sessions.
