My Approach to Helping

My philosophic foundation is the inherent worth, dignity, and value of each individual. The the overarching framework of my approach is the development of children and adults within the contexts of interpersonal and systemic relationships. I draw upon a many theoretical frameworks, such as emotion focussed therapy, structural theories, psychodynamic and constructivist theory, etc., to collaboratively tailor therapy to meet the goals, concerns, and needs of each particular client, child, couple, and family. I use the recent findings of neuropsychology and neuroscience to enhance my understanding and work. I specialize in trauma treatment and developmental disordersI am also a natural medicine practitioner and offer these services to individuals interested in healing their bodies of chronic pain, disease, and illness. Clients may need physical rather than psychological healing, or often, they benefit from both.
