My clinical approach is based on attachment theory and interpersonal neurobiology. The way we perceive ourselves and the world around us can be seen through early childhood experiences. In therapy, you will learn what remains useful and what to leave behind.
I specialize in providing support for individuals struggling with a range of challenges, such as issues related to self-esteem, anxiety, depression, loneliness, trauma, and various other concerns. My approach incorporates EMDR therapy and attachment theory techniques to help foster clarity in relationships and cultivate a greater sense of peace and well-being in your life.
How therapy can help…finding the Self
Change happens when strong feelings, thoughts, and actions are no longer seen as scary or overpowering. We learn to deal with our emotions in a helpful way so we can move towards a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. In therapy, we explore and uncover the core of your true identity through curiosity and compassion.
I can help you discover different ways to handle your emotions, thoughts, and actions. By doing this, you'll be able to navigate life with a renewed sense of self-assurance. If you are interested in learning more about attachment, reach out today!
A little about me…
Beyond working with clients, I am passionate about the outdoors and organic gardening. I have spent the past five years working on an organic micro-farm in Orange County where I enjoyed teaching the public about self-sufficiency and growing your own food. The summertime is spent with my wife taking road trips up the Eastern Sierra for hiking and fishing. In 2023, my wife and I welcomed our baby daughter into the world!
I love helping people arrive at their own profound insight into the nature of their being. One of the bravest actions you can do is taking the leap of faith and reaching out. I look forward to meeting with you!
