Therapists » Marriage & Family Therapist
Most of us lug around a suitcase full of our thoughts, feelings, family history and past experiences and have no idea what's in there. Our current responses to and experience of life come from the contents of that suitcase. Together in therapy we gently unpack it. We will see what is working for you, what needs more support and what has served it's purpose but no longer works. I work collaboratively and am curious about all the things that make you who you are. I am particularly interested in working with people who feel misunderstood or unimportant. I help my clients, who include children, adults and couples, build their capacity to relate to their feelings and connect with others. I am experienced in working with people confronted by relationship challenges, low self esteem, anxiety, depression, family challenges and self harm. There isn't one formula that works for everyone, and so I have been trained in a range of modalities including: relational psychodynamic therapy, expressive arts therapy, mindfulness, DBT, transpersonal psychology, and family systems. I often use metaphor, dreams, sandtray, body-centered exercises and creative arts in therapy with clients.
