Helping clients change the stories they are telling themselves is powerful. And nothing is more powerful than actual proof. Sometimes it can look like, I’m stuck, I’m stuck, I’m stuck, and then a significant leap forward. Our growth is not linear. A person suffering from anxiety and/or depression might be having a heck of a time just getting out of the house. Maybe you’re a couple who is caught in a negative cycle and can see no way out, or the creative individual who is certain the well of inspiration has dried up.
Trained in EMDR and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), I work with individuals and couples. EMDR helps clients discover ways that past experiences might be influencing current functioning and assists them in discovering new ways of engaging in their lives. EFT works beautifully to support couples in understanding and meeting each other’s needs in effective ways.
My undergraduate background and previous career are in the performing arts, which informs my perspective as a therapist. I see the individual’s infinite creative potential. “The energy of creativity is like a fire that transforms all kinds of obstacles into opportunities for dynamic new growth and advancement” (Daisaku Ikeda).
