When we increase our ability to meet life from a state of relaxed, focused awareness, our answers emerge naturally. The brain/mind/body is always working towards health and well-being. Sometimes there are blocks in the way. These blocks create anxiety and depression in various forms. I believe the purpose of therapy is to help remove barriers to allow your own natural healing to proceed.
A safe, accepting, and collaborative therapeutic relationship fosters increased emotional balance and well-being, including at the level of your neurochemistry. I use various approaches and work with my clients as co-detectives. We seek, discover, and implement your personal path to greater emotional freedom and improved relationships with self and others.

As a social species, we all need support in different ways. We calm our nervous systems and regulate our emotions in relation to other beings (family, friends, pets, and sometimes therapists). Therapy is one way to build resiliency through connection in a safe, supportive setting. Sometimes connecting authentically with ourselves is the first step, and can be overwhelming for a variety of reasons.
Have you ever noticed that talking to a friend while walking can be more helpful in changing your perspective and coming up with ideas and solutions than sitting and talking? Sometimes memories and events get "stuck" in a part of our brain that isn't able to create meaning or usefulness from information and that has no sense of time.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is generally short-term, is goal-oriented, and takes a practical approach to problem-solving. The goal is to change the patterns of thinking and behavior that underly client's difficulties. Basically, our thoughts create and affect our feelings and behaviors to a great extent.
Do you have trouble getting to sleep, staying asleep, or falling back to sleep once you've awoken in the wee hours? You are not alone! I have overcome an intense and prolonged chronic sleep disorder and I can help you get the sleep we all deserve. One caveat: the first step in addressing sleep problems is ruling out a medical disorder such as sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, and physical pain.
Everyone comes to therapy with their unique fingerprint of life circumstances, beliefs, histories, supports, talents, needs, etc. Our work together is to find the blueprint for your growth and healing. Creative therapies can increase and improve connection with ourself, our relations, and the world around us.
