What I believe and how I work
We are relational beings. Often, we come to therapy because of trauma, rupture, or confusion in our relational life. Inevitably, the underlying patterns will show up in the therapeutic relationship where we can work to identify, explore, and change them.
Mind and body are not separate. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing, a body-centered approach to healing symptoms of trauma. For some, working with the body and nervous system is the primary focus in therapy.
Our past affects our present. Our past experiences, and our adaptations to those experiences show up in our present day behaviors. Those adaptations may have served us perfectly at the time, but no longer serve us (or may in fact harm us) in present day.
Creativity, imagination, and intuition are powerful forces. We can create shifts by imagining solutions, approaching problems in new ways, and following subtle pulls and perceptions.
We are not separate from our environment. We are in relationship to (and part of) systems of every type and at every scale: family, community, city, country, world. Media, technology, politics, laws. Our environment holds clues as to what is happening inside, just as our inner world is a reflection of our external world.
There is mystery in life. Sometimes, through special experiences like dreams, visions, meditations, synchronicities, we get a peek at the mystery. I am familiar with non-ordinary states of consciousness, and can help to process and integrate these experiences.
Fundamentally, I am open, non-judgemental, and curious.
All are welcome in my practice.
