| Deutsch | Français Drawing from recent developments in neuroscience, I utilize a variety of modalities to help people re-connect with themselves and others. As a certified Imago Relationship Therapist, I specialize in helping couples re-build safety, improve communication, and decrease tension. I also integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), a powerful approach that helps clients understand the different "parts" of themselves and lead from a place of calm, compassionate Self. Whether you're seeking individual growth or working to transform your relationship, healing is possible. Please feel free to call for a free consultation.
Using primarily Imago Therapy, I teach couples a new way of communicating that re-builds safety. When people feel safe anything is possible. Relationship skills can be learned. Healthy communication and deep listening can be taught. Through IFS, partners also learn to recognize when various parts are driving conflict, opening the door to genuine empathy.
With individuals, I create a safe environment where people can freely explore both their pain and possible solutions. Using IFS, we work together to befriend the inner parts that carry burdens, fear, or self-criticism, allowing your true Self to emerge. In just a few weeks, clients report feeling more confident and capable of achieving their goals.
