We are the sum of all of our relationships and experiences. Therapy helps to determine what aspects of our sum that we can consciously choose to influence a better whole in the here-and-now. Life is a constant state of transition. Those in recovery from substances, codependency, or trauma are in the midst of a whirlwind of change. By using evidence based Cognitive Behavioral Therapies, I help clients gain insight into present life struggles, past influences, and future direction. It all starts with a simple diagram, the Intimacy Gram. I also integrate community support, such as Adult Children of Alcoholics, into my practice.
I focus on inner child work; revealing past trauma and the resulting belief system. My early influences stem from Jacob Moreno, Virginia Satir, and Gerald Corey. I draw from my background in Theater Arts to add Experiential Therapy to my Cognitive Behavioral Approaches. I integrate 12 Step/Community Support with therapy, excellerating the healing process.
My goal is for you to attain a level of emotional sobriety. Build confidence, and self acceptance; serenity within your life realms and relationships.
