MY APPROACH

EXPERIENTIAL

I believe that lasting change happens through direct experience. I help to illuminate patterns of experiencing self, other, and world that clients have developed and provide a space that allows for new and more fulfilling experiences to emerge.

RELATIONAL

I also believe that experiential change is the most potent within an authentic relationship between therapist and client. I focus on the ways in which my clients and I relate to one another in order to help deepen awareness of the experiences that arise in session.

I am committed to guiding my clients toward a deeper experience and understanding of themselves and their lives. I assist with the unfolding of their own natural processes of change and growth and work to foster a sense of self-acceptance and curiosity as they begin to open up to themselves more and more.

In this process of opening up, great distress and pain often accompany possibilities for connection and joy. Therefore, I find it crucial to help clients befriend the difficult places inside of themselves in the service of developing a sense of wholeness and integration.

I find that all of this lends to a way of experiencing life that is more centered, grounded, and resilient. While guiding clients in this manner, I help them to access a newfound connection to their own empowerment and choicefulness. By engaging with the utmost respect for the ways in which my clients decide to respond to and shape their lives, I help to instill in them the courage to be who they are.
