Therapy Approach

My approach to therapy has been shaped primarily by the integration of Internal Family Systems (IFS) as well as other evidence-based psychotherapy models such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Restoration Therapy. Among various techniques, I believe that the experiential aspect of therapy is important to lasting change. I trust my clients are the experts of their life stories and have valuable qualities that hold the path to permanent healing. I help clients access those qualities that naturally surface once the disconnected internal world becomes harmonized. I am also trained in Gottman Therapy Level 1 and Certified in Prepare and Enrich for couples.
 
No matter where the therapy process is I believe transparency is key to creating trust and safety in the therapeutic relationship. My hope is to journey with my clients providing effective tools and deeper insight into experiencing their valuable inner qualities.
