I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, stress, and depression resulting from experiencing trauma from personal or professional exposure. Trauma is complex and can negatively impact your quality of life and relationships. Some effects could include anxiety, inability to focus, shame and guilt, feeling disconnected and detached from loved ones, nightmares, painful memories of an experience that doesn’t fade away with time, numbness, or emptiness that lingers despite your best effort. I want to help you gain insight and learn necessary skills to reclaim control of your life and succeed in moving forward in your healing.

As a psychologist practicing over the past 20 years, I have helped adults manage difficult life events, transitional stress, loss, emotional trauma and a variety of symptoms related to depression, anxiety and other emotional concerns. My integrative approach to therapy is informed by humanistic, existential, relational, cognitive and behavioral theories. I work with each individual to guide them through a process of developing greater self-awareness, self-understanding, and, ultimately, self-efficacy.

Stress, anxiety, trauma and relationship issues come in many forms and tend to mask our awareness of our strengths and resources. Yet, it is the struggles themselves that help us to change and grow. Understanding this paradox is one way to find meaning and purpose in life. My clients benefit from slowing down, tuning in to their inner wisdom, and finding solutions to the stress, emotional pain, or emptiness they experience. My approach is holistic and integrative to help you identify recurring patterns, heal traumas, and make positive changes in your life and in relationships.

If I told you that overwhelm is a symptom rather than a way of life, would that surprise you? I find that many of my clients come to me in various stages of overwhelm, some experiencing immense anxiety, others who have flopped into a state of depression, and many oscillating between the two. The lifestyles and demands of many people's lives creates a life that feels exhausting and overwhelming. As an integrative practitioner, I help clients learn how to support their bodies to manage stress, overcome barriers that our minds put around us to keep us from change, and find spiritual tools that support spiritual growth and development.

An effective approach to the eradication or attenuation of the existential angst that lies at the core of most psychological maladies requires an integrative approach.
All psychological issues are ultimately existential in origin, entailing a confrontation with death, loss, meaning, purpose and value. All that we do (knowingly or unknowingly) is dedicated to deciphering these daunting and irrepressible demands of existence. Few are successful in resolving or even clearly conceptualizing these existential issues and their minds inevitably descend into despair, depression and anxiety. Some seek to assuage their suffering with psychoactive substances (illicit and licit) and this leads only to addiction and abdication of autonomy over one's authentic self. My System offers a solution.

Many of my clients struggle with a core sense of unworthiness and a tendency to prioritize others over themselves. They struggle with authenticity, self-esteem, feeling like a fraud, and setting boundaries due to early patterns learned in unhealthy family environments. This can result in feelings of isolation and being misunderstood. My approach is safe and supportive and is trauma-informed and spiritually integrative.

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.
