My Approach to Helping

I bring my full personality, my full heart, and my fullest attentional awareness to all that you bring into the room. I care deeply about what you have been through, where your life is moving, and the particulars of how that is showing up in your life in this moment. I have a well developed and reliable capacity to hold your experience in open and curious reflectivity, giving you the room you need to experience and express all that is coming through you. How I am impacted by what is going on is sometimes shared and explored with curiosity and sometimes not. Sometimes silence is what seems most needed and sometimes a reflection or a question is considered between us. As far as approaches I study, I'm deeply interested in Jung and the depth psychology tradition as well as Alan Schore's regulation theory.
