Provider information

Description

I use family systems theory and emotion-focused therapy to map out key points in your past that may be showing up in the present. From there, I use internal family systems to explore what stuck parts of ourselves (e.g. inner child) might need to move forward with greater integration in our adult lives. 

When it's done right, therapy can often feel like hard work. That's why it is good to work through it with a professional you connect with and trust. I'm available for 25 minute phone/video consultations where we can get to know each other a bit before we begin.

Summary

Many of us form core identity features around significant injuries in our lives and learn to protect ourselves from similar kinds of pain. Over time, these protective features can become so complex that it can become difficult to know who we really are underneath those defences. Trauma, abuse, neglect, loss of loved ones - these are all major psychological injuries that can alter our self-image, beliefs, and life path. Therapy offers a space where these events can be acknowledged with the significance they deserve and allows us a chance to grow into greater integration with our experiences.
