The journey of self-discovery and healing is one of the most courageous and rewarding I have found in life. What I have discovered in my own process of healing and work with others is that we all have a deep longing for connection, understanding, acceptance, love, and belonging. Do you feel your life lacks meaning? Do you desire to feel more connected to others in the world with more meaningful relationships? Do you struggle with unresolved grief or are you haunted by a past of trauma or stuck in the cycle of addiction? Are you ready to make changes in the way you exist in the world that will have a lasting effect? I am honored to be witness to and help you on your journey to a mindful and a more wholehearted way of living that allows you to be more present with greater satisfaction and connection in the world.
Gestalt Therapy goes beyond looking at just the cognitive, linear perspectives of the person with its focus on process rather than content and paying particular attention to your body, you will gain an experiential awareness of how and what you do and new choices will emerge spontaneously. I most appreciate Gestalt Therapy's emphasis on relationship; on the belief that when we meet with fullness and openness, with genuine and unreserved acceptance, we create the ground from which all healing takes place. As a Gestalt therapist, I am trained in the treatment of addiction, PTSD, sexual trauma, childhood abuse, domestic violence, eating disorders, and mood, thought, and anxiety disorders. I have vast experience working with varied ethnic and religious backgrounds, sexual orientation, and a wide range of ages from children to geriatrics with individual, couples, and families. I bring my background as a professional classical musician in my unique approach to treatment in the creative and experiential therapy of Gestalt. EDUCATION & TRAININGDegrees I’ve Completed
