I believe we are born with an inherent bodily wisdom, our "bones of knowing" which helps us to distinguish which experiences allow us to expand or cause us to shrink. We are born with basic primal emotional needs for love, safety and acceptance. For many of us these needs were not met. We often come out of childhood with unmourned losses and a false self or persona. Together we can explore those deeper needs which often underlie symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress and learn to fulfill these needs as they occur in the present, taking responsibility for our own happiness.In taking off the mask of the false self, we embody our authentic self, releasing a wealth of resources and creative energy, tapping into the resilience of the human spirit.I provide a warm and supportive environment which allows trust and openness to develop. I incorporate a variety of treatment theories and have extensive experience working with people of diverse backgrounds and lifestyles, facing anxiety, depression, life transition issues, and relationship difficulties.
