My Approach

I meet you where you are, to build safe and trusting therapeutic relationship in which personal exploration can deepen, giving rise to fresh insights and new ways of being. Through inquiry and expression, I help you explore aspects of yourself lost through trauma or socialization, and retrieve the missing parts needed to relieve suffering, improve functioning and quality of life, and ultimately, to blossom and thrive.

My goal is to help you get in touch with your inner wisdom. I believe that you are your own best teacher, and that once you establish a strong connection to your inner guide, that you will live a more authentic, fulfilling and joyful life.

I practice a holistic approach that integrates Depth, Humanistic, Transpersonal, Cognitive-Behavioral and Somatic psychologies. This means that I combine a number of effective therapeutic models depending on what works best for you. I also draw on the wisdom contained within spiritual and indigenous traditions to address the yearnings of the soul.

Therapy for the Soul

The soul yearns for expansive experience. Trauma and the wounds of socialization, however, stunt your experience of the world.

Then the soul screams to be heard. It reaches out to you in your dreams. It speaks through symptoms like sadness, grief, despair, regret, restlessness, anxiety, panic, agitation, anger, envy, compulsions and obsessions.

By listening to the soul, paying attention to its images and passions, we begin to get a sense of the landscape of your inner world. Then, practicing together, we use imagination to bridge between this landscape and new more expansive vistas, opening to fresh, authentic and meaningful experience.

These new vistas are both internal and external — getting to know and love yourself, improving your relationships, gaining greater certainty, self-worth and peace. These are just a few of the possibilities when you get in touch with your own best teacher — your Self.
