Relationships shape us. The experience of being seen, accepted, and understood by another is a basic human need that when not met can lead to feelings of isolation, loneliness, and other painful emotions. Transformation and healing happen in the moment and in the context of relationships. My approach is open, compassionate, non-pathologizing, relational, & somatic. Rooted in mindfulness, IPNB, & the body/mind connection, our work will also be infused with a healthy dose of humor when appropriate. I support people seeking to heal intergenerational trauma & grief & to weave authentic connections with themselves and others. Anxiety, depression, loss of meaning, and relational conflicts are but some of the ways a longing for authentic connection seeks our conscious and loving attention. I am trained in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), which seeks to "undo aloneness" and to heal developmental trauma via the therapeutic relationship right from the start. My 13 years as an RN lend to our connection a unique sensitivity and capacity for understanding and holding the whole of this often painful & mysterious human experience. Our work together will be present-tense, creative, collaborative, challenging, relational, transformative and in service to you. I look forward to connecting with you soon!
