Clients come to therapy for a wide variety of reason. For some, therapy is a space to process current difficulties at work, in relationships, or in the management of stress, time, money and weight. For others, it is a place to learn how to cope with longstanding issues like depression and anxiety, with difficulties in attention and concentration or in managing grief and anger. For many people, psychotherapy is an opportunity for personal and psychological growth.

As a psychotherapist, my role is to facilitate each client’s understanding and awareness of him/her self, relationship to others and patterns of coping with day-to-day living. Psychotherapy is a commitment to oneself and as such is best done when the client(s) is/are willing to engage in the process. This process is a journey and it occurs in the dialogue between therapist and client(s). However, as psychological issues are also stored in the body, an exploration of somatic experience is likely to inform the therapeutic process. As such, body centered healing modalities may be recommended.

Individual therapy begins with a deep dive into the “Self”. The focus is on personal growth and healing by identifying patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior that supports or interferes with optimal well being.

Couples therapy involves a deep dive into the “Self” of two distinct people looking to build one resilient and lasting connection. The focus is on developing skills that foster safe and open communication and a deep, compassionate understanding of oneself and one’s partner.

Group therapy is offered periodically in a retreat style format. The focus here emphasizes collective self-study and emotional resilience, providing tools for mindful living in a regenerative environment.
