Individual Adult Therapy

The mind and the body are sometimes not in sync. When bad things happen, the mind might want to move on and not talk about it but the body does not forget. My work is informed by psychoanalytic thinking and I integrate a systems approach, CBT techniques, and trauma-based theory and practice.

We all have a neurobiological pull to repeat problematic and often addictive patterns, and need help to break free from faulty conditioning, biases, and places of not seeing to a place of connecting inwardly, where transformation and change are possible.

When working on certain goals, I may collaborate with other kinds of therapists, and psychiatrists. I welcome the opportunity to work with any other providers you are seeing, and encourage clients recovering from addiction to continue participating in support groups or 12-step programs.

I believe in the power of the dyad and that people have the ability to heal themselves in relationships. I also believe in the human will and capacity for growth.
