I believe suffering is an invitation. I understand symptoms as the language of the soul, the voice of our deepest Self (our essence) and needs. The pain you feel makes sense in some way. I will work with you to understand the meaning of your pain that it might become transformative. We will attend to what you hunger for, beyond any diagnosis you may have. I believe your psyche knows what is needed, and part of my work is to guide you and hold the hope as you reconnect to your vitality—your genius, creativity, self-knowing, intuition and instincts.

To bring you closer to your own wholeness, we bring in the wisdom of your unconscious and work to integrate that knowledge with your conscious perspective. This may happen in a variety of ways including dreamwork, parts work, sandtray therapy, relational approaches, and understanding the symbolism living in the stories you have about yourself.

Therapy often begins with an immediate difficulty—perhaps a loss, heartbreak, grief, a stuckness—and then invites one into expansion, a deeper connection to sense of self, more fulfilling relationships, more satisfaction in work, and a richer aliveness than before. Together we will work to find the joy on the other side of your despair.
