Therapy
Seeking confidential council is timeless; people have been doing so since time immemorial. I offer individual and couples therapy focused on meeting this innate human need. I integrate time tested wisdom, with cutting edge knowledge, to help people heal and grow in the most efficient and lasting ways.
In the field of psychotherapy there has been an explosion in scientific understanding about how to harness the best in our human natures. I can teach and guide you about the kinds of relating that transform you for the better, how to access the healing power of your emotions, the ways empathy positively impacts every system in your brain and body, how to tap into your body's innate healing capacity, how to make use of your animal instincts for trauma recovery, and the power of your interpersonal relationships to shape your neurobiology and your life.
I specialize in offering therapy that is open minded and sex positive, for people of all orientations, genders, and consensual practices.
I offer culturally attentive therapy, for people of all ethnic, racial, religious, class, and cultural backgrounds.
I welcome anyone who is engaged in the care and repair of the world, including healers and change makers of all stripes.
If you would like to learn more about my approach, you are welcome to call for a phone consultation, and we can discuss the possibility of working together.
Who goes to therapy?
Anyone who genuinely wants relief from difficult relational and emotional experiences, and is willing to do the inner and outer work to grow, is a good candidate for the therapy I offer.
What kind of therapy do you do?
My therapeutic roots are psychodynamic, and my branches are relational & somatic psychotherapy. The therapeutic world has been underging a paradigm shift for the past 20 years, from a dis-ease focus, to profound breathroughs in understanding how we can change our brains, bodies, emotions, nervous systems, and relationships, throughout our lifespan. Additionally we have discovered that a bad childhood and trauma are not life sentences- we all have innate healing mechanisms, and when understood and harnessed, recovery and healing can be deep and lasting. I make use of these innovative insights, as well as time tested wisdom, to help individuals and couples grow into greater love, fulfillment, joy, success, and meaning in life.
What are the potential benefits?
Some of the benefits you may reap from therapy are: deeper self understanding; greater integrity with self and others; better understanding of a how to respect your own and others boundaries; greater ability to shape your relationships with compassion and empowerment; greater fulfillment in matters of love, work, sexuality, and family (given and chosen); a strengthened ability to bring your innate talents into the world, and an increased capacity to engage with community and the wider world in transformative ways.
