My Ideal Client

Sometimes along life’s path we can start to feel like we have lost our way. Life can result in feelings of meaninglessness, depression, exhaustion, loss of creativity or emptiness. We may feel a tugging within us that something is wrong, and we are off course. This can often lead us to therapy for relief of difficult experiences, thoughts and feelings. Still other times we may enter therapy with a desire to find meaning and purpose. It is my honor to support you in your healing journey.

My Approach to Helping

Rooted in Depth Psychology, I work with a combination of modalities. Together we will discover the approach that feels best suited for you. By meeting in a confidential, honoring environment we will build a trusting relationship that gives space for the work you want to do together. Our sessions will use a combination of insight, action and integration with skill-based techniques to support you on your healing journey. Together we will work to manage and explore the complex depths of meaning and feelings that come with life and relationships. We will work directly with the core elements of thoughts, feelings and experiences to tap into those lost or unknown parts of self that are key to your healing. This work may not only give symptom relief, but bring individual and relationship growth and meaning that sustains you throughout life’s journey. Over time, clients may report feelings of self-acceptance, transformation, authenticity, renewed energy for life and a sense of purpose.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that we as humans are instinctively drawn toward healing and growth with a desire for meaning and soul. This led me to Depth Psychology which believes that healing comes from a deeper level of processing and introspection. It is interested in healing through awareness of those parts of ourselves that have been cast out or not yet able to be known and their impact on our behavior, thoughts and feelings. As I worked with people, I became deeply interested in the dynamics of a person’s relationship with themselves as shaped by their experiences and perceptions of those relationships. I saw many people cut off from their essence, a sense of disconnectedness from self. I believe that healing comes from allowing what is ousted from our awareness to come forward, explore its significance and integrate it; allowing you to become more fully present to yourself and your life resulting in enhancing your relationship with yourself, others, your community and the world.

Techniques I Use

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Child or Adolescent Issues External link

    I have decades of experience working with children, youth and families. In today's world our children are faced with many challenges that can disrupt their development and health as well as the overall family dynamics. During our sessions we will work to alleviate symptoms of distress; we also include efforts to improve their social and emotional resources; increase their use of effective communication skills; and strengthen family, community and peer relationships.

  • Family Conflict External link

    Family therapy will focus on the whole system; concentrating on the relationships between individual family members, their roles and situations, including context, rules, boundaries and communication. Many times parenting information does not address the specific needs of your individual children and your unique family dynamic. Our sessions can help you tailor your parenting to the needs of your individual children and set you and your family on a positive road towards healing and understanding

  • Schizophrenia External link

    Often times families experiencing the effects of severe mental illness find this experience to be tumultuous, complex, and isolating. Sessions will be designed to help guide families who have a member with schizophrenia or other psychosis diagnosis. This service provides individual, family and system support through extremely difficult times and helps you navigate your feelings, loss and fears as well as the systems that are complex and often do not meet your needs.

  • PTSD External link

    I have decades of experience working with youth, adults and families who experience trauma. Psychological trauma is an emotional response caused by a severe distressing events that are outside normal human experiences. This may include natural disasters, war, abuse, loss of a loved one, violence, and vehicle collision. Our sessions will address your specific needs and symptoms, offering a compassionate approach to help you heal and move forward with strength.

  • Self-Esteem External link

    Issues of self-esteem can be the driver of issues related to relationship with self and others, present as depression or anxiety and come as a result of loss or life transition. We will work directly with the core elements of thoughts, feelings and experiences to tap into those lost or unknown parts of self that are key to your healing. This work can not only give symptom relief, but bring individual and relationship growth and meaning that sustains you throughout life’s journey.
