why work with me

My goal is for you to integrate the healing and insights you cultivate in therapy into your everyday life. I often hear of a gap between the clarity people experience in therapy and the way they feel in their lives in between sessions. Therapy with me is a space for exploring and practicing the embodiment of what you are seeking and then learning how to weave that embodiment into your life between sessions, moment-to-moment, so you eventually move on from therapy.

While my approach is based in somatics (the body-mind connection) my clinical orientation is deeply informed by neuroscience as well as contemplative traditions.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Our work together will be organically tailored to your own uniqueness, as we focus on what is most relevant for you. However, the following themes echo through my work with all clients:

The language of body: You will learn to welcome sensations of stress, tension, and anxiety as messengers holding important insight, rather than problems to eliminate. Together, we’ll decode these messages so that you can learn to respond in effective and compassionate ways.

Spotlight on regulation: You will learn to recognize the brilliant ways your system naturally regulates itself, and we will complement this brilliance with simple and powerful tools that support shifting out of habitual anxiety and into engaged presence.

Sustainable wellbeing: As you explore a new baseline of underlying steadiness, you will learn to welcome all aspects of your experience (both the wanted and the unwanted) as portals back to wellbeing. Freeing you from the rollercoaster of conditional wellness, and positioning yourself as the most effective member of your support system.
