Gestalt is a therapy of becoming whole. It teaches us that every part of ourselves is essential to our vitality and that our vitality is essential to the world. 

As a gestalt oriented therapist, I commit to meeting you authentically as a real person in the present moment, guiding you into creating a keen self-awareness of your experience. 

Experiencing, rather than analyzing and thinking, allows you to encounter your blocks to healing and growth in an embodied and trust-worthy way. With these blocks illuminated, the path toward integration of all parts of yourself becomes clear and is practiced in the present moment within the therapeutic relationship. Gestalt is a therapy that nurtures tremendous compassion and acceptance, while also pushing you to take direct responsibility. 

I have successfully utilized the gestalt approach to work with clients who are facing challenges related to:

Early-development attachment wounds

Unresolved Trauma

Family and Relationship Issues

Anxiety and Depression

Spiritual Emergencies

Addiction

Eating Disorders

Self-harm behaviors

Life Transitions

As it is a therapy based in experiencing, the best way to understand the benefits of gestalt-oriented therapy is to come in for a session. I am happy to talk to you more about the approach beforehand if you have question. If you would like to contact me, please Click Here
