About Therapy

I strongly believe that therapy works and provide counseling using proven methods.

Therapy Style

  • During therapy, I will first get to know you, understand your current situation and your goals for therapy.
  • I work from a systems perspective which means issues do not exist in isolation but in the context of families, communities, and cultures.
  • I am heavily influenced by Emotionally Focused Therapy, which recognizes how important our partners are, helps recognize and change negative cycles, and re-establishes supportive bonds between partners.
  • I also frequently utilize Internal Family Systems which helps people explore, understand, and form new relationships with their self-critical or difficult thoughts, feelings, and parts of themselves.
  • I use methods that are designed to be effective quickly with results that last.
