I implement an integrative approach, as therapy is not a "one size fits all” process.
Grief takes many forms: Relationship, career, role transitions, aging, and health loss, to name a few. Whether someone dies by suicide, illness, accident, or natural circumstances, our world turns upside-down and we feel hopeless, our grief endless. Sometimes there's despair, anxiety, sometimes relief. Sometimes we think of what we could've, would've or should've done. Sometimes we're just numb. Sometimes we (or others) judge that passing time should measure our healing. Grief is individual and personal; there is no right or wrong way to feel. One thing IS certain: We need support, hope and understanding.

I have certification for integrative mental health that incorporates nutrition education.
Couples, individuals, and adolescents seeking symptom alleviation and who are motivated for change are ideal for therapy. One important aspect to therapy is learning how to develop the inner strength to practice healthy skills and better manage symptoms. This is partly achieved through a collaborative approach to therapy that invites the client to understand and choose what is ultimately best for their health and relationships.

My unique, integrative approach to therapy, incorporating multiple modalities, has evolved over the course of many years, first as a client overcoming the challenges in my own life, then as a student earning a master’s degree in clinical psychology, and for three years now as a therapist who understands my clients' struggles on a deeply personal level.
If you're looking for another therapist who just sits there with a note pad and every once in a while asks, "and how did that make you feel?” – you’ve got the wrong guy. If what you actually need is a relational, interactive therapist, who will offer you feedback, clarity and suggestions on how to improve your experience of living, then you’ve found your man. The work of healing is a deeply personal pursuit, one that requires looking inward with vulnerability, and my job is to guide and support that process of growth. I can help to point you in the directions where personal insight, progress, and development are possible.

I specialize in working with clients who want to resolve emotional, relational, or other phase of life changes. The way I do this is sharing therapeutic practices that serve to overcome emotional distress which, in turn, leads to unhealthy behaviors that interfere with current life goals and values. As we work together in a safe, non judgmental therapeutic relationship, negative thoughts and behaviors can be changed and replaced allowing clients to free themselves from discouragement, harmful attachments, fearful thoughts, excessive worry or feeling like they are losing control of their emotions and their lives.

Integrative Therapists
What is integrative therapy?
Integrative therapy is a type of therapy that combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic approaches depending on the needs of the individual client. By merging elements of different treatments, an integrative therapist aims to offer a more flexible approach than those who practice just one type of therapy.
How does integrative therapy work?
Integrative therapy approaches a client’s mental, physical, and emotional health in a holistic way to discover the sources of their unhealthy behavior patterns or other challenges and considers the approach most likely to lead to improvement. Among the techniques an integrative therapist may practice are cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, art or music therapy, psychodynamic therapy, breathwork, family systems therapy, gestalt therapy, and trauma-informed therapy. An integrative therapist regularly evaluates the client’s progress and is prepared to pivot to a different approach if progress stalls.
How long does integrative therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for integrative therapy; people who find they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that spurred them to seek treatment. New patients should understand that it may take some time for a therapist to land on a treatment approach that best meets their needs, but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.
How effective is integrative therapy?
There are hundreds of types of talk therapy, and research shows that while they vary in form, goals, and frequency, many if not all can produce similarly successful outcomes. But a single approach does not always deliver the greatest, or speediest, benefit, and so even therapists primarily trained in one model will use tools, language, techniques, or exercises from others to shape an effective treatment plan.
