Therapy is a practice and an ever-evolving process; it is the cauldron where true transformation, growth, and alchemy occur.
Psychotherapy
An ever-evolving process
"The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination."
Carl Rogers
Therapy is a practice and an ever-evolving process; it is the cauldron where true transformation, growth, and alchemy occur. In our work together, I make it my mission to help you see that, like everything, you, too, are a complex, fluid, sometimes mercurial being, not fixed or static. In a safe, co-created space, we will mine your uniquely fluctuating "constellation of potentialities" to discover how you can best live in right relationship with all of your moving and sometimes disparate parts. I will help you to more fluently navigate the complexities and challenges of being human, and to cultivate an awakened relationship with yourself and your world.
My formal academic study was rooted in Humanistic and Existential Psychotherapy, and my work pays great homage to that tradition. In the years since, I have done extensive post-graduate training in somatic, relational, and attachment-based models of therapy and human development that largely inform how I practice today. The present iteration of my work is a cutting-edge hybrid of body-centered psychotherapy and dynamic relational processes informed by AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), Authentic Relating, Integral theory, and contemplative, mindfulness-based practices.
My orientation is to an evolutionary, transformation-based model of healing and change. The field of psychotherapy has long been hyper-focused on psychopathology, and a paradigm shift is in order. Regardless of the traumas that one has endured, there is always an abiding instinct that pulses, unrelentingly, toward aliveness in the human system. I am committed to trusting the wild intelligence of this vital current.
My approach
Somatic Psychotherapy
I have training in the Hakomi Method of Mindful, Somatic Psychotherapy as well as in Core Energetics. Both modalities are derived from the lineage of Wilhelm Reich (a student of Freud and pioneer of body-based psychotherapy) and Alexander Lowen, the founder of Bioenergetics.
