“It can be said that there is an inner reality to [the] individual, an inner world that can be rich or poor and can be at peace or in a state of war.”
– D. W. Winnicott
I like to start with people where they are by addressing immediate and present concerns first. I am also very interested in your individual story, what it was like growing up in your family, what has made you your own unique self. Together we can discover what patterns may have been established that serve you well and not so well. I am interested in how you think about things, what your interior world is like, as well as what is happening in your day to day life. This is a depth oriented approach that aims at getting to the root of symptoms, hopefully leading to lasting change.
I may also use some methods from Eastern approaches such as body/mind awareness, relaxation, and, at times, meditation. My style is warm and collaborative, down to earth and open.
