Psychotherapy

If we are lucky in this life we will experience many inner deaths, each an opportunity to shed the scaly skin of yesterday, to embrace our own expansion, and enter a next dimension of life. If we fail to die, we fail to grow. I see the potential of the therapeutic container to be a sacred space to compassionately witness and accompany individuals in the alchemical process of healing and growth. In some cases this looks like deep attunement and tenderness and sometimes this looks like challenging calcified beliefs and opening to the possibility of a more expansive cosmology.

My Therapeutic Approach

As a therapist I will meet clients with curiosity and compassion, to empower the wisdom of their inner healer. I can sit with clients in whatever they are experiencing whether shame, grief, devastation, depression, rage, peace, joy, gratitude.

The larger container of this work lives within the depth perspective, an eclectic approach that can be perhaps partly revealed through the following quote, “I am a human being; I consider nothing human alien to me.”

Within this overarching framework, I frequently use Somatic Experiencing (a bottom up approach) to step beyond recounting our stories and into a deep listening to the wisdom of the body/physiology. This might look like listening to what my client is sharing and then reflecting and ultimately inviting them into the body by saying “what are you noticing in your body as you share that?’

When we drop into the body, we often time travel to different experiences along the journey of our lives and are given the opportunity to experience completion where once there was wounding. Sometimes we simply drop into the truth of what is right underneath the surface of our social mask and finally get to feel and come into deeper congruence between our inner experience and our outer presentation.

We use movement, sound, touch, image, meaning and deep attunement to weave in a new thread to an old pattern. I also pull from the wisdom of EMDR especially when working with a particularly sticky pattern or belief or if that modality really clicks for the individual. I don’t believe in a one size fits all approach, I believe in meeting people where they are and carrying a torch with them, side by side as we walk the inner labyrinth toward soul.

Client-Therapist Fit

Clients that are best suited for working with me tend to be creative, curious, sensitive, feeling, intuitive (or desire to be more connected to intuition and feeling), experiencing depression/anxiety, life transitions especially in the realms of relationship and parenthood, ready to dive into patterns and explore therapeutic work beyond talk-therapy and into the realms of somatic and imaginal.

Good fit or chemistry in the therapeutic relationship is essential fuel for moving the sacred container of therapy forward, I always invite people to book a free consultation to feel out the relational field and use their intuition to sense if we could do some deep work together.

I specialize in:

• individuals//couples//groups

• the motherhood journey and motherhood support groups

• embodiment and trauma healing through somatic and nervous system healing

• re-parenting and renegotiating historical relational wounds

• life transitions//threshold experiences//life’s initiations

• relational/attachment based wounds

• depression and anxiety

• ADHD and HSP

• body image

• connecting to the divine feminine, the spiralic, and the alchemical underpinnings of life’s cycles
