The Therapeutic Process
I believe the foundation of our human experience is to be seen and known well inside of relationship. This fundamentally drives my work as a therapist and human being. I also believe that we often need help in finding the healing, wholeness, and integration that we seek, and that it is unlikely that this occurs in isolation or apart from relationships of trust and safety.
I take a wholistic and multidisciplinary approach to therapy, one that is rooted in the belief that we are formed, wounded, and eventually healed in the context of relationships. I firmly believe in an integrated perspective of wellness, and I aim to be mindful of the whole person in our work together—body, mind, and spirit.
While our work may involve clinical assessment, you are likely here for more personal reasons. Together, we will listen deeply to the key-events, characters, and somatic experiences that you bring to therapy, extending no judgment, offering no easy answers. I work with you to help you welcome emotions, explore meanings, recognize patterns, and consider options. Our time together will help you understand yourself better in the context of your life story: the internal and external forces that have shaped your desires, decisions, fears, patterns, and beliefs about yourself and your world.
Additionally, I also enjoy working with individuals who have experienced spiritual abuse within a Christian context. If you find yourself navigating disillusionment, anger and/or pain from church experiences, know that I am familiar with this issue and offer a unique opportunity to integrate this into our work together.
I will always offer you a blend of fierce kindness, deep compassion, and gentle insight as we work towards your goals together. Let’s reimagine what life could look like for you.
