Approach

Not just talk therapy.

Although talking is an integral part of the process, we’re also here to understand aspects that may be beyond the reach of verbal processing. We’ll spend time with the body, learning its language through tracking sensations, exploring imagery, becoming intimate with impulses and patterns of behavior.

This approach to therapy recognizes that past traumas and unresolved conflicts can become "stuck" in the body, manifesting as physical symptoms like tension, chronic pain, or difficulty regulating emotions. Techniques may include exploring bodily sensations, analyzing dreams, and examining how unconscious processes influence physical and emotional experiences.

Whether you’re seeking treatment individually or as a couple, we’ll work collaboratively and relationally, considering the interplay of biology, psychology, and social environment. We look to the nervous system, its current state and innate capacities, to help guide this process of discovery and transformation.

“When we reveal ourselves to our partner and find that this brings healing rather than harm, we make an important discovery—that intimate relationship can be a sacred space where we can be ourselves, as we are… This kind of unmasking—speaking our truth, sharing our inner struggles, and revealing our raw edges—is sacred activity, which allows two souls to meet and touch more deeply.”

-John Welwood, as quoted by bell hooks in All About Love
