Welcome

You have arrived…what now?

Something brought you here…

Perhaps the burden of pain that weighs on your body, mind and spirit.

Psychotherapy may help transform various symptoms of pain, manifesting in unhealthy, hurtful or even harmful thoughts and behaviors into something more healthy, wholesome and functional. Choosing to participate and engage in psychotherapy requires time, trust and commitment; together we can try to co-create a safe and collaborative healing space. 

You have arrived…and now we can begin our work together– Welcome.

How do I practice as a psychotherapist?

My way of practice is an integral approach— bringing various psychological and counseling traditions that honor and respect diversity, in combination with the pragmatic wisdom teachings of buddhist practice.

  • Depth/Jung oriented therapy–exploring dreams, symbolic meanings and teachings in fairy tales and myths, and de-mystifying the process called “individuation.”

  • Attachment/Relational therapy– an exploration of past and current relational attachments to help heal trauma, and work towards understanding what it takes to cultivate a more secure and reliable relationship with self and others.

  • Narrative therapy focuses on transforming problem-burdened stories, that no longer serve a purpose, to strength-embodied stories that can offer and instill hope.

  • General Systems theory and other specific systems theories (e.g., Bowen Family and Structural Family theories); systems theories emphasize the interdependent nature of individual and family as one big system.
