I want to hear your story......what has happened in your life and what you want for your future; who you are and who you want to be.
Each time we meet, I will be listening to you with my whole body, not just analyzing your words but tracking each part you, joining you on a path that weaves your biology, psyche and soul. Together, we can read the patterns of your inner world, the ways you seek safety and value, and uncover the themes of your life. My sincerest hope is to help you develop compassion for every part of yourself, discovering that even our most painful parts of self can be great teachers. |

A little about me and how I work... |
I come from a long history of self-exploration and healing. My form of therapy is informed by personal work, academic study and over 10 years of experience in the field. I blend a variety of modalities including archetypal depth psychology, Buddhism, and parts work. I view the human ego as a collection of "parts" and borrow from IFS and other parts-work theories.
Working with me will include working with your attachment system- the way you relate to yourself and others. This has everything to do with how safe you feel in your body and nervous system. I can offer you practical tools to help soothe overwhelm and overactive defenses.
These models of the human experience allow clients to recognize and honor every part of their experience, reduce anxiety and learn how to respond to their needs with compassion and effective management.
Working with me will also include working with your nervous system. I can offer you practical tools to help soothe overwhelm and overactive defenses.
I received my MA in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University, where I studied a variety of psychodynamic methods. Some of my best training came from years spent in community mental health, working with underserved children and adults.
