My Ideal Client

My practice welcomes individuals who sense something deeper calling them - a longing for meaning, understanding life patterns, or exploring their inner landscape. Rather than fixing what's wrong, we unfold the natural wisdom within you. Through dreams, inner images, and the body's wisdom, we will connect with aspects of you that have been disconnected or made unconscious. Together, we'll explore your inner world with curiosity, allowing transformation to emerge naturally.

My Background and Approach

I deeply believe in our innate capacity for wholeness and the wisdom that emerges when we create space to listen deeply to ourselves. My approach is shaped by Jung's understanding that the psyche speaks through symbols and images, and that our ongoing development continues throughout life. At the heart of my practice is a reverence for the mystery of becoming. While our culture often pushes for quick fixes and logical explanations, I've found that real transformation emerges through patience and curiosity. Like the natural world, human development has its own timing and wisdom. I'm particularly drawn to working with the imagination as a bridge to the unconscious. Through my training in Embodied Imagination, I've witnessed how this gentle approach allows hidden aspects of ourselves to emerge and be integrated, leading to a deeper sense of wholeness. I see myself as a companion on the journey, helping to create conditions where healing and growth can occur.

Techniques I Use

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Personal Growth External link

    Sometimes coming to therapy is about exploring, where you have been and what your next life steps will be, or to explore deeper patterns that keep appearing in your life. I would love to be alongside you in this process!

  • PTSD External link

    Many people experiences life events that impact them physically and emotionally. A person may find themselves fearful, unexpectedly remembering a past event, difficulty going places, and many more experiences. I work with people to regain a sense of safety and, if appropriate, use my training in trauma processing to decrease how symptoms impact your daily life.

  • Anxiety External link

    Sometimes worries about life events, social situations, or general worry impact how a person lives their day to day life and I will work with you to move towards personal values with self-compassion.

  • Depression External link

    Depression can feel like the weight of a heavy blanket, where life becomes difficult to navigate. One might feel disconnected from important relationships. I will work with you to feel more connected to yourself and others.
