Do you find yourself trying hard to overcome difficulties in your life, but end up feeling stuck, wondering “Why can’t I change this”? You might feel like your old patterns have control over you. It’s frustrating to commit to change and yet seem to make little progress. It might be time to try something different.
I offer insight-oriented therapy that is both gentle and direct. Together we build a relationship of trust and respect as we explore your situation. The insights we uncover together guide us to the right interventions that help you. By the end of therapy you will have increased your self-awareness while decreasing unhelpful behaviors.
I believe part of my role as a therapist is to help my clients uncover their inherent wisdom. Another part is to help alleviate suffering here and now. In both cases, I bring active and deep listening to build an honest and engaged relationship. The insight and awareness practices from the buddhist tradition are an important part of my worldview as a Contemplative therapist: I am influenced by two decades of meditation practice, participation in retreats, and active study with lineage holders. I also bring my background in teaching, the sciences and outdoor leadership to help clients in their journey to feel better and cultivate their intrinsic health. Please reach out with questions, concerns, or just curiosity to find out more and discuss your needs.
