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.
