My Therapy Approach
Therapy provides consistent space for slowing down, engaging in deep inner listening and being present to interpersonal dynamics illuminated within the therapeutic relationship.
It is a process of co-creation in which our back and forth conversation brings forth new perspectives, insights and often challenging realizations to work through together.
Research indicates that psychodynamic therapy brings long-lasting change.
Psychodynamic therapy involves sitting with the many “unknowns” of life while also building clarity around your values, your relationships and how you want to show up in the world.
While mental health symptoms may be what initially bring you to therapy, we work together to address not only your present moment experience but also the impact of systems around you, stuck patterns from the past and current relational processes that can shift to support your goals.
Ecotherapy is also supported by research which highlights the benefits of spending time in nature: improving psychological well-being, reducing stress, easing distractions and supporting physical health.
Symptoms of climate-related distress are signals that can point you towards greater care, connection and action in relationship with the natural world.
One way to slow down and listen to messages from the unconscious is through dream work. Working with dreams in therapy brings symbols and images to life and supports a creative blossoming process in your relationship with your inner world.
Dream work can also connect us beyond the personal and into the collective, even touching on community and global activism: the future has not yet unfolded, and we first need to dream it in order to create it.
