My approach is deeply present. I am not going to be the therapist who just sits there and nods. I will be with you and recognizing what I have heard. I will ask you questions and offer a variety of approaches from a trauma-informed lens. 

Being a Gestalt based therapist means that I honor you where you are and what feels the most present. My work is also strongly influenced by humanistic, attachment centered, compassionate, Internal Family Systems, neuropsychology, and relational therapy models. It’s not just you, your child, your family, your interpersonal relationship or co-parent. I invite clients to participate in parts work and Gestalt experiments when they feel safe enough to do so. This will often include putting parts on a pillow and chair work. I hold space for your dreams- both figuratively and literally. I am not here to judge you or pathologize you. I work from a social justice frame

I will end here with the images of cozy metaphorical nooks of holding and containment, and therapy as the art of Kintsugi- taking the broken spaces and filling them with gold. Timshel- “Thou mayest”. Both of these phrases call images of expansiveness and allowance. With all of these words and their magic, I hope we work together in your journey to becoming and belonging to yourself.
