Collaborative and Engaging Psychotherapy

My theory is grounded in Relational psychoanalytic psychotherapy. This theory highlights the ways our minds have developmentally learned to respond given our life’s circumstances. Through curiosity and openness we can look at the underlying ways you came to see life and find new fulfilling patterns.

Similarly, I draw from philosophy and humanities, very much including metaphor, to help illustrate the lived nature of experience. In keeping with this tradition, I am receiving extensive training in Enactive trauma therapy to help patients increase their sense of agency. As Nijenhuis (2017, p. 34) describes:

         “Enactive trauma therapy is the sensitive and dedicated                 effort to raise consciousness to levels of corporation and                communication that allow the emergence of new, benevolent,        and healing actions and experiences in the steps that patients        can manage.”
