My ideal client is an adult who has been carrying a lot for a long time. They may be navigating trauma, chronic stress, depression, anxiety, or the emotional weight of systemic and cultural pressures. Many have histories of instability, unmet needs, or survival-based coping that once protected them but now feels exhausting.
They are often strong, capable, and resilient, yet deeply tired of “just getting by.” They may be high-functioning on the outside while feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or emotionally stuck on the inside.

My philosophy is very Jungian-based. I believe that life is about consciousness, balance, and relationship. We heal and grow by shining the light on the darkness instead of avoiding it. This philosophy is a complete approach to the journey. We want to look at the whole of the issue and then work through the details. This brings us to a higher level of awareness that gives us more connection to the different parts of ourselves with a focus on sexuality, romance, intelligence, and spirit. The method of treatment used is a combination of somatic based, mental based, and spiritual based treatment.

Intervention Therapists
How does an intervention work?
An intervention is a planned, structured meeting in which a person’s family or friends voice concerns about the person’s behavior and its consequences; the goal is for the person to accept treatment. In this meeting, the person’s loved ones (often with the guidance of a trained interventionist) share how the person’s behavior has harmed them and the consequences if the person refuses treatment. They collectively ask the person to accept a proposed treatment plan.
How effective are interventions?
There isn’t extensive research on the efficacy of interventions, in part because success is difficult to measure. Individuals often enter addiction treatment after an intervention, for example, but treatment itself may not work, especially if the person only begins due to external pressure from others rather than due to internal motivation to change. However, if all other attempts at helping someone have failed, an intervention may be worth exploring.
What are the limitations of interventions?
While a friend or family member’s intentions are in the right place in wanting to help a loved one through an intervention, there are significant limitations to the approach. The surprising nature of the event can make the person feel ambushed or judged. They may feel embarrassed or ashamed as a result, and relationships may be strained or broken. This can make it difficult for the individual to be receptive to the concerns of their loved ones and the interventionist.
Are there alternatives to interventions?
Rather than confronting a loved one through an intervention, an effective and less pressured approach is to create space for a caring, open, one-on-one conversation. This works best if the loved one asks open-ended questions, listens attentively to the answers, and frames their observations and statements with concern rather than judgment. More than one conversation may be needed, but change can take root over time.
