why therapy?
I am a Jungian-informed, Psychodynamic therapist. I address beliefs about the self and the world that were formed in childhood, which need to be re-worked in order to heal emotionally and handle challenges more adaptively. Much of this involves exploring unconscious processes using methods such as Internal Family Systems, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and experiential dream work.
I work in a humanistic, very collaborative style in which being present and mindful is fundamental, and the client, not the therapist, is the expert in their own experience.
