How I Work

Our work starts with a compassionate conversation. We’ll talk about the issues that you want to explore and use modalities that help you access clarity, confidence and direction. My style is hands-on and interactive.

I may also guide you through non-verbal, intuitive-based exercises to help reveal thoughts, feelings and behaviors that you might not be fully aware of, but impact how you live day to day.

Whether we meet individually or with your partner, you will deepen your connection to your whole self.  Through education, experiential learning and coaching, I can help you strengthen your interpersonal skills, heal deep emotional and erotic wounds, and access authentic joy. 

I may draw from any of the following modalities:

• Gestalt Therapy, A Relational Approach
• Gottman Method for Couples
• Emotionally-Focused Therapy for Couples
• Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction
• Mindfulness Based Relationship Enhancement
• Intersystemic Sex Therapy
• Embodiment and Sensory Strengthening
• Polyvagal Theory for Therapy
• Breath Work and Anchoring Skills 
• Jungian/Parts Work/Shadow Work
• Working with Pictures and Imagery
• Spiritual Growth work
• Art-based Explorations
• Writing, Journaling and Storytelling
• Movement Practices
• Therapeutic Coaching

Since therapy is not a linear, one-size-fits-all process, modalities may vary from session to session, and from client to client. I’ll select methods to guide our work based on the problems presented and your interests.

I also recognize that some issues may be better served in conjunction with another discipline. If I identify a need that requires attention from another practitioner, I may refer you for treatment such as medical, naturopathy, nutritional counseling, manual body manipulation, yoga and/or movement classes, psychiatry or other services that can address physical and emotional needs.
