My approach to therapy
I work on helping people shift from stuckness to a place of possibilities. This involves helping people with insight (not just mental awareness, but also the embodied experience), practicing new ways of being with the hard stuff, and exploring new skills and ways of being.
What you can expect from me
Clients can expect shifts from stuckness to possibilities. I support clients in opening and expanding the possibilities of their experiences and responses to the world.
