I am a Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern, working towards becoming a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and I have a passion for seeing people grow and heal in clinically measurable ways.
I focus on helping clients repair attachment disturbances and heal trauma in a relational paradigm. My theoretical orientation is psychodynamic, and I use an eclectic blend of IFS, EFT, and the Ideal Parent Figure Protocol with some somatic processing to guide my clients through the healing process.
I believe in real objective healing. The brain is neuroplastic. When we enter a relationally secure place within the Self/Other relationships, we prime the brain for the optimal conditions to transform and integrate into a more whole and complete sense of Self. In this context, the rigid patterns of mental suffering can be gently reshaped into more internally secure and coherent patterns of mind when the mind/body feels safe enough to do so.
As little as a newborn, the mother/infant bond is the relational dyad that begins the process of forming our internal representations of the Self. Attachment is the fundamental paradigm by which humans evolve, heal, and grow the Self (from birth until death). Therefore, to change, we must seek out a safe haven & a relational base from which we can form a secure bond, and from that bond, begin to change and heal.
This is my goal for my clients: to use evidence based techniques to help build an experiential base of safety from within; move within that safe base to create emotionally corrective attachment experiences to Self/Other, and use those healing experiences to reconsolidate traumatic memories and create secure internal models of Self/Other relationships by resolving deep unconscious traumatic patterns from within. As time moves on, you should begin to notice the benefits of greater emotional resilience, a strengthened capacity to self-regulate; more mental coherence, resulting in better capacity to mentalize: differentiate Self/Other mental states, gain improved emotional attunement to Self/Other, and experience an overall increase in the capacity to be nourished by a deeply enriching and intimate relationship to the Self as well as in all other relational connections you have, allowing you to function as the most authentic, genuine, self-congruent, creative, productive, healthy, whole and expansive version of yourself.
