How I Work
As your collaborator, I will help you define your goals and support you as you work towards them. My job is to create a place where you can express your full range of emotions in every session. While tears in therapy may be expected, do not discount the healing power of laughter.
-
A framework that offers non-judgmental counseling to help disrupt negative patterns, using your strengths and self-knowledge to guide treatment. The self-compassion fostered in IFS work helps to reduce the intensity and frequency of uncomfortable or unwanted emotional reactions.
-
A protocol initially developed to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that has also been proven to be effective with anxiety and depression that do not have roots in trauma. It uses some of the same mechanisms our body uses in REM sleep to help us process memories and experiences.
-
An approach that considers your personal and family history, relationships, and current context —a focus on you as a whole person as opposed to simply the problem or issue that brought you to therapy.
-
The perspective that every person in born with the desire and need for close emotional bonds. I use principles of this approach to support you through anxiety, grief, relationships challenges, improving communication, and life transitions in parenting, partnering, work, family, personal identity and growth.
