Offering Support

My background as a clinical social worker taught me to help people by getting to know them as a person in their unique situation at any given time. My background in Focusing taught me we are all naturally trying to live healthy, forward-moving lives, and we need to consider our whole selves, we aren’t just bodies or just minds.

I provide support and practical feedback to help people work through or resolve current problems, achieve goals and make changes in long-standing patterns that no longer serve them. Blending a variety of evidence-based approaches I draw on what will be most helpful for each client, assessing and reassessing progress together regularly.

My work is influenced by:

  • Focusing, which has many components similar to Internal Family Systems (I.F.S.) and mindfulness based practices

  • The Polyvagal Theory

  • Attachment Theory

  • Family Systems Theory

  • Accelerated Emotional Didactic Psychotherapy (A.E.D.P)

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (C.B.T.)

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (E.M.D.R.)

  • The Flash Technique

  • Current neuroscience

The process of actually changing feels good. Effective working on one’s problems is not self-torture. The change process we have discovered is natural to the body and it feels that way in the body.
