Most people don't come to therapy because they've fallen apart. They come because the strategies that built their lives have quietly become the source of their suffering. Performing instead of feeling. Overriding discomfort instead of listening to it. Staying in control because letting go feels unthinkable. We find ways to cope until they stop working. I work with children, individuals, couples, and families from all backgrounds. My approach in individual work is building awareness of interoception and how it governs emotion, drawing on CBT, DBT, and EFT. Interoception is what you experience when you stop explaining. The mind explains. The body knows. Emotion is the reality that unites the two. My approach in couples and family work is similar. What happens between people registers in the body before it becomes conflict. The work is turning toward it and experiencing what it means. I'm completing my internship at Kenosis Counseling under the clinical supervision of Melissa Raddatz, LMFT, LAC.
