Approach
When deciding on a therapist, it is important you feel a connection with the one you choose.
My approach is caring, warm and collaborative. I work with individuals who experience anxiety or depression from relationships, family or work settings, or major life transitions. I feel comfortable working with developmental issues; people who suffered childhood abuse of any kind, or individuals who have been in any life threatening situation. I create a safe and supportive environment in which you can talk about your situation without fear. I will help you address those parts of yourself that get in the way. Through the healing process, you can learn to manage stress, cultivate mindfulness and move from being stuck or overwhelmed to living a more fulfilling life. I am an integrative therapist, but more recently I have developed a great interest in working with parts and I find this approach is especially effective in helping people to understand themselves and the choices they make.
I can work together with you to explore and work through old patterns or unexpected crisis. I have found that by treating yourself with compassion rather than judgement, positive change can happen.
