I specialize in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a relatively new and highly effective approach to healing that is changing the way psychotherapists work with and view their clients’ problems.  In short, IFS seeks to help clients find compassion and curiosity for the parts of themselves that create suffering and havoc in their lives.  Fundamental to this modality is the belief that even those parts of us that cause us or others pain developed originally for a good reason, and primarily in an effort to protect us.  I will guide you through a process of discovering, supporting and unburdening the parts of you that are in need of attention and healing.

I have completed advanced training in Internal Family Systems for individuals as well as couples  (also known as Intimacy from the Inside Out) and my practice is primarily focused on this treatment approach. I have found this modality extremely helpful for couples, increasing curiosity and compassion for the other person while deepening each partner’s understanding of his or her part in their struggles. That said, I tailor my work to fit the needs of my clients, and the approach, pace and depth of our work is up to you.

I also have significant experience in treating addictions (including food and substances, sex/porn, shopping/hoarding, and rage), anxiety and depression, recovery from sexual abuse and other trauma and attachment disruptions, and grief and loss.

I am privileged to support a wide variety of people with myriad issues. Currently, I work primarily with couples, but also with individuals and families.
