"Like an ability or a muscle, hearing your inner wisdom is strengthened by doing it." - Robbie Gass
Psychotherapy
Therapy can be a helpful aid in a time of confusion or difficulty. It can also be a place to focus on growing as a human and to get in touch with your authentic self. Whether you are new to therapy, have tried it a few times, or have more experience with this service, I can meet you where you are and help you to explore what's next on your life path. Sometimes you will have an acute issue to address, and other times you will be coming in with only a general sense that something needs shifting. Either way, my goal is to help you learn more skillful ways to navigate any and all situations so that you feel more resourced, strong, confident, and whole.
I draw upon therapeutic modalities including Internal Family Systems, Gestalt, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. These modalities utilize your inherent ability to imagine different stories of how things are and therefore literally change your brain and experience of life. My primary, underlying approach is to be relational and genuinely present with you. Emotional injury happens in relationship and is therefore healed in relationship.
