Getting to Know Your Inner World…
How I work:
From the beginning, you and I, join forces as a team of Co-Detectives, curiously noting the ways you’ve learned to navigate How you Feel along with Ways to Cope with Discomfort.
In the past, you needed to Hide certain aspects about yourself, but now it comes with the cost of High Anxiety, Unruly Emotions and constant Overthinking. You can continue to procrastinate or is it time to find out what you are truly capable of in this one lifetime?
Characteristics of Clients I work with:
Know themselves as Kind, Smart, Caring & Responsible.
Fear Making Mistakes.
Grew up around Adults who needed emotional support.
Are Sensitive and frequently feel like they Fight Back Tears or Get Too Angry when strong emotions set in.
Wonder if their loved ones and friends can know them on a Deeper level.
Consider themselves Successful in certain areas of their lives.
Get Flustered or Overwhelmed in the face of conflict (and Anger) and will try to Solve an issue or walk away before there is resolution.
Enjoy Helping others and make this a priority.
Feel Embarrassed when Praised by others.
Rather spend time with others than alone by themselves.
Believe relationships in their lives should be easier than they are.
Worry about fulfilling their purpose in life.
Areas of Focus
Therapy
-
Talk Therapy is more than a conversation, it’s a spotlight on you - your thoughts, emotions and behavior which are the cornerstones of your character. Here we get curious, and make a point of not blaming or shaming how things are and have come to be. The idea is to detect what happens in the body and mind and bring conscious awareness to this process, so that you have more emotional options and behavioral choices available to you when in your daily life.
Holistic Intensives
-
A standard weekly session isn’t the best format to incorporate insights and new understanding. The Intensive format is focused, yet allows for space and time needed for the revealing of unconscious patterns “stick” so changes can take place. These sessions are scheduled in 3 hours blocks and incorporate Talk Therapy, Somatic Awareness and Bodywork in no specific order along with other tools that I might offer if deemed useful.
Dynamic. Experiential. Somatic. Relational.
I practice
Intensive Short Term Dynamic Therapy (ISTDP)
Talk Therapy focused on the Here and Now experience & expanding Self-Awareness.
Great for: recognizing anxiety, clarifying thoughts and feeling feelings in real time
Therapy is not simply a conversation but a process that highlights an internal conflict.
Individual Therapy brings attention to where emotions, understanding and actions intersect, so you can make conscious changes towards how you want
to think, feel and act.
Somatic Bodywork focuses directly on Regulating the Nervous System and the Breath through awareness of the Body and gentle, yet firm Therapeutic Touch inviting a sense of safety and space inside and out.
