ABOUT

Change is an inevitable part of life. While it is natural and we change in ways we desire and appreciate, life can demand we change in ways that seem difficult or even impossible. We hope to experience excitement, confidence, clarity and good fortune, but are met with disappointment, pain, confusion, and loss. Our ways of coping, while effective at times, can become insufficient at other times. We handle distressing beliefs and burdens by turning to internet surfing, food, alcohol and drug use, porn and other pleasurable yet distracting activities that keep unwanted feelings at bay.
 
My main treatment modality is Internal Family Systems Therapy. IFS acknowledges that we are all multiple in terms of personality; we have a core Self, along with wonderful parts that serve the Self. The aim is to help your parts holding pain, struggling to manage life and engaging in unhealthy activities to feel better, and for the Self to lead our parts.
 
I hold sacred the therapeutic relationship, which is essential for personal growth and change. This relationship of trust and compassion develops over time and is important to contain your powerful feelings and inner experiences. I will hold space for you and guide you in a process of meaningful change.
