I combine an integrative model with a holistic view of the person to aid in healing and transformation. Integrative Psychotherapy uses insight-oriented modalities in conjunction with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Hypnosis, Mindfulness, Biofeedback, Guided Imagery, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), EMDR for trauma processing, and dream analysis using Jungian approach. All of these techniques facilitate unique experiences and allow me to tailor therapy sessions for each individual patient. You will be reminded in my therapy room that : "You are as unique as your fingerprint." (M. Erickson)

As a parent, I know your relationship with child and their wellbeing are some of your highest priorities. When emotional or behavioral issues grow to the point that you and your child are disconnected from the joy and connection that you both long for, therapy can help. Treatments like DIR Floortime and the NeuroRelational Framework can equip you and your child to navigate the challenges with resilience, self acceptance, and even playfulness. Treatments like Theraplay and attachment focused work can help bring balance to interaction pattens so that there is both warmth and parental leadership.

My work specializes in sex-related issues. We all grew up with and have been affected by different narratives of sex. These narratives, as well as positive and negative sexual experiences, have shaped our current outlook and intimacy in relationships. I work with individuals and couples in a collaborative effort to identify, process and heal areas specific to problems with intimacy, sexual trauma and religious guilt. I also work with my client's to provide solutions to sexual issues like low desire, communication or betrayed partners.

When you begin to recognize that your enjoyment of your child seems to be decreasing while feelings of being stuck, stressed, or overwhelmed are increasing, early childhood mental health services can be an effective tool to get things back on track. Healthy parent/child relationships reflect secure attachment, responsive attunement, and mutual enjoyment. But many things can interrupt that process, even typical things like the birth of a sibling or starting school. These experiences can contribute to challenging behaviors in children that are difficult to handle. Therapy can help to restore connection and understanding.

Evolutionary psychology, neurobiology, Buddhist Psychology, Somatic or body-centered work and the emerging field of psychedelic therapy are profoundly changing our view of the human experience. We are learning that our individual selves are far less determined than they are emergent.

Therapy can help you find balance, connection, and fulfillment. In order to do so, I believe it's important that we acknowledge the shadow elements of life-the challenges that cause us pain, confusion, and block us from finding a sense of harmony and well-being. I collaborate with you in navigating the shadows and the more buried aspects of your life in order to develop a deeper capacity for balance, personal growth, and healing.
