Individual Therapy
Attending Individual Therapy
I’ll meet you where you are, and from there, we figure out the map of the territory to where you want to be. I don’t believe we need to live in the past to find the way forward, but the past has a funny way of showing up for us right here. My clients develop skillful awareness of when a past circumstance is taking over the present. They learn precisely how to heal the past when it interferes with life right here, right now. So how do we do it? There are as many doors into healing as there are individuals ready to heal. Let’s define the modalities I’m trained to guide you through.
Approach
Want to talk neuroscience? Let’s work with your brain, body, nervous system and circumstances to help you know your body as the fine tuned instrument it is.
Do you thrive on personal knowledge, skills, self-discovery? I’ll show you the mechanics of what is happening during a trauma, anxiety, or conflict response, so that you can understand exactly how you respond, and how you could respond differently. You have the power to understand and work your reactions and heal these patterns. But it usually takes someone with an unbiased outer perspective to help you see what’s out of your periphery. That’s where I come in. Let’s experiment with what happens when you change your approach to dynamics and patterns with others.
What if the mechanics of the brain and nervous system isn’t your style? What about meaning? Spiritual practice? Creative Evolution.
Perhaps it’s your way to find your path through personal meaning and truth. Let’s unfold the intuition, the symbols, the archetypes in your life which color and characterize your hero’s journey. Let me walk beside you and we’ll study your life like a poem: unfolding meaning and purpose together.
Through therapy, we can differentiate between what trauma or patterns you may find yourself compelled to revisit and entangle, and the lessons you seek to complete in order to move on. We’ll work to identify and appreciate the different aspects of who you are: Mother/Father, Professional, Child, Adventure-seeker, Executive, Artist, Entrepreneur, Engineer, Teacher, Queen, Spiritual Seeker–the possibilities are endless. You’ll recognize who is in the driver’s seat when, how to develop your strengths, how understand aspects of you that once helped you survive, but may be over-staying their welcome.

Resolving trauma can look any way you need it to—I’m here to support your way through the woods into the clearing.
