Most of us desire a greater connection with and love for ourselves and others. However, our fears and habitual ways of being in the world often interfere. I help you uncover your true essence and wisdom that allows for greater connection and peace. We work together to quiet the internal chatter and overwhelming feelings through present-time awareness and careful pacing. We can then safely explore current stress and challenges, and as needed, past events and out-dated beliefs.
I gently guide you to slow down and become curious about what is happening not only in your thoughts and feelings but also in your body as you address current concerns. By listening attentively to your body's messages and connecting these to emotions, images and old beliefs, we track how you have learned to be in the world.
My Couple and Individual therapy is grounded in advances in interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory (our sense of safety and security in relationships) and mindfulness. I continue to deepen my knowledge and expertise through ongoing couple therapy trainings, my daily accountability in my own marriage, and through my real time partnership with horses, whose very survival depends on their ability to be fully present in their bodies and with their environments.
