I incorporate various modalities and theories into my work in order to offer the client multiple avenues for exploring and experimenting with the self in order to alter patterns and heal old wounds. These include, but are not limited to: Internal Family Systems (IFS) Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) Attachment-based psychodynamics, Existential therapy, Emotion-Focused therapy In addition, I have been influenced by such theorists and philosophers as: Richard Schwartz, Iain McGilchrist, Ron Kurtz, Gregory Bateson, and Alan Watts. For people with goals primarily in the interpersonal realm, group therapy can be one of the fastest and most effective modalities for reaching those goals. People find that group therapy can be incredibly useful when wanting to: discover barriers to secure attachment & intimacy, learn how to set boundaries, engage in relationally constructive conflict, resolve social anxieties.

Quite often, there is a part of us that doesn’t want to confront our issues, and in this effort to protect ourselves, patterns of living form over time and become hard to change or escape. This fear of change is understandable -- we know that on a certain level, being who we are and doing what we did helped us survive to this point. But now, perhaps, you are recognizing there is a cost for the avoidance, a cost for repeating the patterns -- perhaps survival is no longer the goal, perhaps you want to thrive. I believe that therapy should be an affirming, collaborative and challenging experience of self-discovery and self-acceptance where all emotions, ideas and issues can be explored and new patterns can unfold. It is a relationship with the purpose of navigating and mapping your internal experience so that you may ride the tides on the ocean of human emotion and experience with compassion, creativity, curiosity, confidence, clarity and connectedness.
