Psychotherapy for healing and growth
I wholeheartedly believe that any person could benefit from having the space, supported introspection and healthy relationship practice that therapy provides. All of us have experienced some degree of trauma, turmoil, stress, or heartbreak in our lives. Having a safe space to process and reflect can help us get through these most difficult moments, and can help us tease out and repair negative beliefs and turn down the volume on overwhelming emotional responses so that we can take what we need to learn from these experiences, and let the rest go.
Seeking the support of a therapist can be a powerful step toward increasing self-awareness and the ability to change patterns that are no longer productive. I collaborate with my clients to identify and work toward treatment goals, using a combination of practical skills and deeper work to explore and repair root issues that may be contributing to current problems. My therapeutic style is humanistic/relational, and I am always listening for ways that past traumas or attachment disruptions may be connected to current issues. The therapeutic relationship plays an important role in helping to recognize and heal these types of issues, and I frequently utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support this type of work. Change in therapy happens through a process of increased self-understanding, practicing new ways of engaging (with yourself, with others, with a particular problem or set of issues), and development and practice of coping strategies.
I feel deeply honored to be able to do this work, and find incredible joy in supporting my clients in their process. Please feel free to contact me to schedule a free 15 minute consultation to see if it feels like a good fit.
