Compassion & Healing

These are two words that describe my orientation and the presence I bring to my work with people. I have cultivated myself to be an instrument of healing through over 20 years of experience facilitating therapy with people, my own spiritual and psychological practice, as well as the many trainings I have completed. Below are some of the modalities I offer in my work with teens and adults.

"This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond." -Jalaluddin Rumi

  • Parts Work

    The most well known form of parts work is IFS, Internal Family Systems, developed by Richard Schwartz. This is an evidence based and highly effective form of therapy where we get to know aspects of our personality and the roles they play for us, so we can become more whole, harmonious and Self-led.

  • Hakomi

    This is a mindfulness-based and somatically focused form of therapy that builds self-awareness, and understanding how we are organized from the inside out. This is a modality rooted in the body, and increases our capacity to be present and connected to ourselves.

  • EMDR

    One of the most effective forms of trauma therapies, especially when combined with these other modalities, EMDR helps untangle the physical, emotional and mental symptoms of trauma, allowing us to be more present and free of events that got stuck from the past.

  • Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy

    Psychedelics, when combined with psychotherapy, are proving to be by far the most effective aid to healing trauma, depression, anxiety and a host of other mental health conditions. This is a modality that is chosen with care, and has the ability to supercharge the healing process. Please see my PAP page for more information.

Other Modalities:

Cognitive Restructuring:

We all have habits of thinking that we gravitate towards, and they become familiar grooves. Learning to identify, catch and change those thinking patterns can be empowering and a simple way to affect change.

Parent Consulting:

The aim is having a child who is thriving, and a relationship with you that is in alignment and feels good to you both. No one can offer your child what they need as well as you can. You hold the key, together we can find the door.

Trainings and Certifications:

  • Hakomi year long professional skills training

  • IFSCA levels 1 & 2 training

  • Neufeld Institute certified parent consultant
