Relationships are everything

I can help you improve your relationship with yourself and others. Helping you to feel more integrated, joyful, peaceful. More connected, appreciated, more loved. Improving your capacity for work, love and play!

I integrate training in Psychology, Psychoanalytic Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Somatic Body Psychotherapy, Couple Therapy, EMDR, Yoga, Mindfulness and a range of other training to work with couples, adults and older adolescents. My work is based in research, is trauma informed, and can help your life in practical ways.

I can help you understand your patterns and why you get stuck in the same old places, and give you the tools to change.

I am interested in the field of interpersonal neurobiology and neuroplasticity. This means that the way our brains have developed and the way we function is experience dependent. Our patterns of reacting are affected by the way it was in our family growing up, our culture, the physical environment, and our own temperament. Our brains and bodies have developed patterns of response that we are often unaware of. The good news is with work they are changeable.

Through different experiences we can strengthen and create different neural networks and thereby change the way our nervous system functions and interacts with the environment. Psychotherapy works by rewiring the neural networks. From this perspective our feeling states and ways of being are adaptive. The ways we react make sense in terms of our experience so far. It is reassuring to know that the brain is able to change, it becomes possible over time to respond in different ways.
