About Pamela
I am available for online and in person session. Contact me at [email protected].
My approach is integrative, meaning that I draw on knowledge and practices from different fields in order to respond to your evolving needs. I have in-depth training in contemplative psychotherapy, which enables me to skillfully integrate mindfulness and compassion practices with Western therapeutic modalities, such psychodynamic, somatic, emotionally-focused, and attachment-based approaches.
While together we bring compassionate awareness to the deeply held roots of your challenges, I also help you to develop everyday practices that support your wellbeing. For example, I may help you to: understand and communicate your needs, relate to and express your emotions, create more intimacy in your life, set clear boundaries, trust your intuition, and, access your strengths and inner resources.
How sessions unfold is determined always by your needs and goals. With intuitive sensitivity to your underlying concerns, I help you to develop your own insights towards desired change.
