Psychotherapy
"In the middle of the road of my life I awoke in a dark wood, where the true way was wholly lost.”
– Dante Alighieri.
Signs of Emotional Neglect
Do any of these situations resonate with you?
On the surface you enjoy a great life, and have few or only good childhood memories, yet despite that you often feel empty and lonely and wonder if there is something you're not doing right.
You have a strange sense that you don't belong, even sometimes when you are with friends and family.​​​
You are capable and self-sufficient, often preferring to do things yourself rather than lean on other people who could let you down.
You find it sometimes difficult to know how you feel, or what you could do to feel better.​
When you think about asking for help or expressing your needs or wishes to others, you feel ashamed or embarrassed and don't know why.
You sometimes feel 'invisible' and in some way different than other 'normal' people.​
How Can Therapy Help?
I use the DEEP approach which is based on the latest research in interpersonal neurology and relational attachment theory. This approach promotes healing and growth within a warm and supportive therapeutic relationship that provides safety and dispels aloneness.
​
DEEP also builds on the profound insights of Carl Jung, who understood that each of us has within us a true Self that is a source of inner wisdom and knows exactly what we need to heal and grow.
​
Therapy gives you a trustworthy companion who will help you find your path out of the woods into new and authentic living.
What can I expect?
As your therapist, I promise I will not judge you, try to fix you, or rush you. There is nothing wrong with you: the symptoms and problems of living you may be experiencing are just clues pointing to what you need to heal.
​
I deeply believe that all of us have an inward creative “drive to thrive” that can lead the way. My job is to help you connect to that inner voice. How do we do that? We work together in the here-and-now, paying attention to and honoring your thoughts, feelings, body sensations, and what your imagination brings to the process whether by dreams, fantasies, or “coincidences”.
​
I will help you process the sometimes overwhelming emotions that come up when you've been on your own for far too long, and together we will build on what already is working in your life to help you move forward.
