Therapy Approach

I take a trauma-informed depth psychotherapy approach to come to an understanding of each person, couple, or family in their own relational and cultural context. Sessions involve discussion or movement-based practices, as clients learn to embody their feelings and allow those feelings to move through them. Effectively communicating our feelings allows us to feel seen and loved. Clients will also develop their ability to attend to others, to support them in their experience. I will honestly convey my own experience as I respond to you. From this, you will learn to more vulnerably and assertively convey yourself to me, and to one another in couples and family sessions. I can be quite direct, and this may be challenging, but every interaction we have is an opportunity to create depth and strength in our relationship. This is training for you to integrate these communication skills, and way of relating to yourself, into your life.

Therapy can be a crucial resource at times of crisis or when you have lost track of the things that keep you healthy. It is important to continually examine your process so that therapy does not become repetitive and stagnant. We’ll collaborate on clear action steps for making behavioral changes and finding self-healing.
