Specialties

Starting therapy is usually daunting and relieving all at once. I’m here to listen to you, to understand as fully as possible what is happening in your life and in your mind that is needing help and understanding, and to work with you to get unstuck, to make the changes you need to make to live a fuller, more connected, more meaningful life. The process of making those changes can create all kinds of emotional experiences, and some of them may be uncomfortable or unfamiliar. When that happens I will help you to stay grounded enough not to become too overwhelmed, and to use the discomfort to help you grow. Sometimes I will be listening and thinking quietly, and sometimes I will ask you to focus on certain things or consider new perspectives. When I feel I may be understanding something significant, I will share my thoughts with you and see what you feel and think about in response. Words matter in therapy, but sometimes the most valuable growth comes out of what cannot yet be said, what is felt in the heart and in the body, images and dreams that don’t seem to make sense in a familiar way.

I specialize in working with people who are also interested in taking things further, going beyond the immediate issues and doing the work of making more fundamental changes in their life. That is often a longer process, and requires patience and commitment to yield profound rewards. If you find this idea appealing, I encourage you to contact me and we can begin a conversation.
