Psychotherapy I believe that we are all wise beings who, given the right environment, have an innate drive toward healing, growth, and wholeness. Over the course of our lives, whether in childhood or adulthood, we inevitably get pushed or pulled off this path, becoming wounded. In order to protect these wounds, we develop coping skills and symptoms, which can become unconscious patterns that make our internal and external life harder to navigate.
These ways of coping may have helped us in the past, but as time goes on, they can become habits, which may cause us harm. These unconscious habits may look like stuckness, anxiety, depression, overwhelm or just the sense that something is missing from living a fulfilling life.
In therapy, we'll embark on a collaborative partnership, where your curiosity and willingness to delve into your inner world will be met with compassion, support, and guidance. Through the therapeutic process, you will have the opportunity to connect with and give voice to deeper and more complex parts of yourself, peeling back the layers to find and free your unique and authentic self. At times, we'll navigate the terrain of early childhood trauma using approaches like parts work and EMDR, allowing you to address and integrate past experiences in a safe and empowering way. Our work together will be grounded in genuine connection. Just as wounding happens in relationships, so does healing. In this depth-oriented approach to therapy, clients begin to feel more internal ease and peace, ultimately able to step into a life of greater authenticity, joy, and fulfillment.
