And how does one get there with an integrative therapist? Starting with the Here and Now. Forming I Fear/ I Wish statements. Applauding Selves that survived little or Big T trauma. Listing constricting beliefs of your Inner Critic. Inviting a partner to see you as just human, shaped by neurodivergence, family culture or DNA.

Hence, I utilize an integrative approach to support each individual in their own way.
Before I became a psychotherapist, I had a career as a professional diplomat, and I served in different countries. Having been exposed to diverse cultures in the course of my life, I am particularly attuned to the varieties of narratives that shape people’s identities and relationships with self and others. In my work with each client, I aim to bring my unique personal and professional perspectives into our therapeutic dialogue. I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where clients can explore how old patterns—that might no longer serve them—repeat in the present and foreclose future growth.

I am an experienced integrative therapist helping adults and adolescents to lead happier, calmer lives and find the meaningful committed relationships they desire. Maybe life looks great from the outside but feels like a different story inside, and you've learned to silently accept it. Even when the stress of holding it all together is soul-crushing. Carrying the weight of the world alone is exhausting. Anxiety, depression, trauma, or challenging relationships make us feel sick and tired. Poor coping mechanisms make us feel worse. You can take a step today to end the cycle of worry, fear, grief, or loneliness and reclaim your life.

I believe humor and unconventional thinking will take us far.

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.
