I listen, act, and together we transform
You may not know it but you are already whole. However, for most of us, our whole, authentic self has been lost or covered over by life's trials, traumas, & family/societal demands. We build up complex defenses and ineffective habitual ways of thinking, feeling, relating. Then we develop an inauthentic self to get by in a complex and confusing world.
In our work together we will uncover and rediscover your wholeness, authenticity, and radiance. Clients who would most benefit may have had some past therapy. My clients are typically midlife or older (but not always) and may be experiencing a challenging life transition, or simply want a fuller, richer life.
I have over 30 years of experience. I use a combination of Transpersonal & Jungian informed techniques, Mindfulness, & Buddhist Psychology. I enjoy working on spiritual issues or clients who have been harmed by religion.
Recently I obtained a certification in Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy and I'm working on a certification as a Focusing Oriented Polyvagal therapist. In addition, in a few months I am entering a program to become a spiritual director.
I previously worked with clients with complex disorders using DBT. I no longer work with this population but still utilize DBT skills as indicated.
If you are feeling stuck in your life, experiencing a difficult life transition, or would simply like to experience more joy, fulfillment, and wholeness I invite you to email me about openings. Together we will help you to build a life truly worth living.
