I work with people who are open to exploring why they sometimes react in ways that may get in the way of healthy relationships, and are motivated to gain insight into the many aspects of their personalities, in efforts to discover their authentic selves.
I work from a stance of curiosity, non-judgement and empathy. I am present, warm, and direct. I utilize parts work from an IFS perspective with individuals and Emotionally Focused Therapy with couples.
Finding a therapist can be a challenge. Feel free to contact me for a 15 minute complimentary consultation, to see if we are not only a good clinical fit, but also what it's like to sit and speak with each other, as research suggests that the most important predictor of successful therapy is the relationship between therapist and client.
