We all have a story. We often cling persistently to the stories of our past, where our earliest dysfunctional patterns of relating to others created templates for future relationships. Such templates can be filled with distorted beliefs and expectations of ourselves and others. Your story may have some significant challenges to overcome. But your story doesn’t have to be a tale of woe. And you don't have to change it all by yourself. I'm here to help you rewrite your story so you experience more fulfilling relationships, live more fully in the present, and find the best parts of yourself.
As the founder of The GIA Institute of Psychotherapy, I’ve built a collective of relational therapists who are committed to advanced training and intensive supervision. We see children, teens, and adults and offer individual, couples, and family therapy, We also offer a trauma group and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) group.
We offer a combination of traditional Relational Therapies and modern neuroscientific approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, Art Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Play Therapy, Psychodrama, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and more.
