ABOUT

Therapy can be a space for insight, personal development, and healing. Each one
of us has our own unique history and growth process. My goal is to support your
overall mental, emotional, and relational health. I work with a range of
interconnected experiences including anxiety, trauma, depression, and grief. I
also specialize in: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD); trauma resulting in
dissociation, disembodiment, panic, and fear; and helping couples identity and
repair unhealthy relationship patterns and coping mechanisms related to these
experiences. People who I work with may be experiencing the following:
intrusive, unwanted, and obsessive thoughts / behaviors; feeling like their mind
and emotional responses are stuck or cycling through a painful loop; hearing the
inner critical voice that says they are doing the wrong thing and not worthy of
care; dissociation, feeling like you are not in your body, and cannot connect
with emotions and sensations the way you want to. And falling into habitual
relational patterns that cause ourselves and our partners pain, and that we are
having difficulty changing or identifying. ___________________________________
Therapeutic Approach You are your own person. There is no single modality that
is right for everyone. Instead, I weave together diverse therapeutic approaches
to address your personal needs. Here are some of the tools I draw from: Somatic
Therapy provides a way to process feelings in your body, so they do not feel
stuck or overwhelming. Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy cultivates a
heightened awareness of thoughts and feelings, allowing you to engage with them
in healthier ways. Behavioral Therapy helps you reshape unhealthy patterns
linked to thoughts and feelings. Existential Therapy contributes to
philosophical or spiritual integration, aiding in understanding, building, and
repairing your unique frameworks of self. Compassion Focused Therapy equips you
with tools for positive self-development, addressing the inner critic as well as
feelings of shame and guilt. I believe that the client-therapist alliance is the
most important aspect of therapy. It is vital that you feel seen, safe, and
supported. Our sessions together focus on your goals and needs, in an
environment centered in compassion, non-judgment, and deep listening.
___________________________________ About Me: Before becoming a therapist, I
gained over 10 years of experience in providing non-clinical and counseling
services. This included roles such as Director of Care Services and senior Care
Team member for an international peer-support organization. Additionally, I
served as the director of a teen leadership wilderness adventure program and
worked as a meditation teacher. In 2023, I was invited to Harvard University
Medical School to co-lead a training for Post-Doctoral Fellows in Integrative
Medicine. The focus was on exploring how specific types of meditation can
potentially exacerbate anxiety and lead to experiences resembling
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Depersonalization and Derealization
Disorder (DPDR). This training delved into the neuroscience underlying
Meditation-Related Adverse Effects (MRAEs) and discussed optimal care modalities
for managing conditions such as increased anxiety and dissociation. Please feel
free to contact me with any questions or to set up a free 20 minute phone /
video consultation. I look forward to meeting with you. You are not alone. I'm
here to help.
