Do you sense that you are "just getting by" in life? Do you feel weighed down by a sadness, restricted by anxieties, or just a sense of detachment and numbness? Are you concerned about a relationship or lack thereof? Or perhaps there are old, unattended wounds still hurting from long-ago. Eastern philosophies remind us that suffering is universal, but not necessary, and that it emerges from a disconnection from our essential nature. Therapy with me uses mindfulness practices and trauma-informed therapy (EMDR) to reconnect with that nature and inquire into the barriers that resist such connection to ourselves and others.
My practice assumes your inherent completeness: that your true nature is love, peace, strength, power, clarity and more. Our work is to thaw those places in yourself that, with the intent of protection, are keeping you from realizing this completeness. My approach is informed by enlightenment/mindfulness studies, depth therapies, and EMDR.
If talking with someone who does not view your concerns as evidence of a "mental health disorder", "symptom," or as some type of character flaw is appealing to you, please contact me. I'm available to answer your questions via e-mail or over the phone. Located on the East side of Madison on Monona Dr. Next possible new appointment after 01/08/2024.
