Therapy

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

I practice radical therapy with teens and adults from all walks of life. Individual therapy sessions involve both psychoanalysis and mindfulness. This means that we unearth the deep roots of what ails you, and then work to accept and transform what is revealed in the present moment using a variety of techniques.

individual coaching

For those who want unlimited email support, longer, bi-monthly sessions, and personally curated meditations and homework assignments, I also offer a coaching model of support. Contact me for details on these packages.

my PHILOSOPHY and approach

I am not a quiet psychotherapist. I work dynamically, listening carefully and compassionately before offering my analysis. I notice themes haunting around the edges of your stories, and help you turn towards what has been buried. I am not afraid to challenge, and I know that empathy isn’t always enough.

At the same time, I practice radical acceptance. I mean radical. And I challenge you to do the same. That means I encourage you to bring your whole cast of characters to therapy. This includes your crazy-lady-in-the-attic, your I-sometimes-have-murderous-thoughts, your hopelessly-awkward-shut-in, as well as your most frightened, fragile bird.

We cannot heal these parts if they remain behind closed doors. In fact, it is the act of closing doors that cause them to fester or act out in dramatic ways. I know it sounds paradoxical. But if your business-as-usual compartmentalization were working, you probably wouldn’t be reading this.

In my consulting room, we make space for every turning of your soul. In its most powerful form, psychotherapy is alchemy: a transpersonal, transformational unfolding, made possible by a mysterious, chemical, interpersonal process in the safe holding environment of the therapy room. An hour of being deeply witnessed by an other, who is committed to broadening your own musculature to build strength and space for every beautiful manifestation of you.

If you are curious about the names of what I do, my practice is a creative blend of Jungian depth work,, mindfulness practice and buddhist psychotherapy, earth-based spirituality, and British object relations,
