About
Therapy sessions with me are for those who are looking for a chance to create new patterns in life that foster relationship balance both internally and externally. People who are interested in the whole self and all its hidden parts.
Women move through profound transitions throughout life—pregnancy and postpartum, midlife and menopause, where the body changes in ways that can feel unfamiliar; relationship changes such as marriage, divorce, and caregiving happen. Also bringing with them grief and trauma. I use an approach that teaches us to look at all these experiences as opportunities to know and accept the self more.
I offer an experience of exploring how to find a way to create the life and relationships that feel peaceful and balanced to you. This is done by first learning to develop an intentional relationship with the self. Learning to use your own body signals to help guide you through this development and arrive at a place that supports a feeling of being grounded and in charge of your life.
I offer therapy in an online setting, creating a space that is private, accessible, consistent, and supportive, where women can engage in meaningful work from wherever they are.
Individuals
individual counseling
Individualized sessions that focus on healing relationships in all areas of life by first healing the internal relationship with the self. Using life experiences and dynamics as the context, you will be guided through the process of developing this internal relationship. I call this process, "Tracking the Shadow". During this experiential process you will learn tools that will help you to grow your tracking skills between sessions, each session building on the last. These sessions are usually an hour long and the frequency can vary with the typical experience being once a week to start. As your skill level increases, the frequency will naturally decrease to keep pace with your comfort level with this type of learning.
other stuff
I also have many years of experience with meditation sessions and helping people to create daily practice routines that can increase grounding and balance. My meditation style is focused strongly on nature based visualizations that encourage relaxation and stress relief. If you are working on healing from a particularly difficult experience or relationship and want to use meditation as a part of this healing process, we can work together to create a personalized routine that matches your needs. These sessions are an hour long and they can be scheduled as needed or for those who are developing a personal practice and want ongoing support through this process, once a week is recommended.
Relationship Work
Couples
Couples work that is offered focuses on how to create a deeper connection that provides each person in the relationship a safe place to come for support and a way to grow into a lasting and harmonious partnership. This work invites each participant to look at themselves and relationship with curiosity and build awareness that allows for greater emotional growth and self regulation through the strengthening of inner security. Partners are asked to practice vulnerability with each other in new ways that will help them to experience the behaviors and words of their partner differently, creating more meaningful connection and deeper bonds between them.
Family
I offer individuals a way to address family relationships that fosters self growth and a new way to perceive loved ones that can create more meaningful family experiences as well as a way to reduce conflict.
