Who I Work With
In my private practice I work with people from diverse backgrounds. Specifically, I see young adults and women who experience challenges with life transitions, relationships, anxiety and/or depression, and parents who are looking to engage in more cooperative and nurturing relationships with their children. I see these challenges through the lens of personal growth and wholeness.
I have come to understand relationships through the eyes of Relational-Cultural Therapy; I know that the yearning for genuine connection is basic to life and that our relational nature drives us to grow through and toward connection. Though there is a natural flow of connection – disconnection – reconnection that occurs within relationships, it is when there are ongoing disconnections that we experience psychological unease with its sense of isolation, fearfulness and emotional distress.
My understanding of the therapeutic process continues to deepen through my ongoing study of Relational-Cultural Theory, and my interest in Mindfulness, Neuroscience and Ecopsychology.
