Description

Bessel van der Kolk's "The Body Keeps the Score" highlights the importance of understanding and befriending our inner experiences to change how we feel. This aligns with my psychotherapy approach, focusing on curiosity about your emotional, cognitive, somatic, and relational experiences. We explore your deepest desires and the obstacles in your way. Using the NeuroAffective Relational Model® (NARM™), which integrates multiple therapeutic approaches, we create a safe space to address challenges like trauma, depression, anxiety, and relational issues. Let's get started and learn more.
