I work with couples and individuals in couples counseling and psychotherapy. My approach is collaborative, interactive, engaged, to be "in it with you." I believe that core and primary emotions, when explored and shared in a safe environment with a secure other, can achieve the transformation we desire--toward relief, confidence, an expanded sense of self, authenticity, happiness, peace, joy, meaning and depth, satisfaction, openness and nurturing, loving relationships. I use a mix of different approaches: Emotionally Focused Therapy, psychodynamic, mindful, somatic based interventions- whether with individuals or couples I help clients regulate and clarify: we explore emotion and connection, and relational patterns. Therapy is both experiential and dynamic, with an eye to existential meaning and expression. I trust in the Self, the deepest, truest part of ourselves, under our defended natures. Each client is different and therefore each course of therapy will be different, tailored to what will help best.
