As we embark on this journey together, I aspire to provide you with my full attention and engagement, allowing you to experience the benefits of gentle, generous focus. With nearly a decade of experience working with non-ordinary states of consciousness (e.g. psychotic, manic, dissociative, ecstatic, etc.), I'm confident that I can help you manage most anything you're experiencing. You will find our time together has depth due to my background in Jungian theory; yet the somatic (embodied) and trauma-informed approach underlying everything we focus your curious attention on will remain rooted in your felt-sense of the present moment.
But being open and honest enough to ask yourself hard questions is not easy - you must feel safe. If you've at times felt judged or belittled, you may have started hiding away parts of yourself, fearing other's opinions. Sadly, the echos of this hurt can be heard for years as shame, saying,"It's not safe to be vulnerable."The antidote for this is compassion.
You may notice I'm more interactive than your previous therapists. I intend to show you I care, because I do! Together, we'll unravel the lingering worries that have stolen your sleep and replace them with fresh perspectives . With newfound confidence, you'll finally conquer those vicious cycles. Let's see what's possible when Curiosity Meets Compassion.
