Life can be hard. We depend on others to live the life we have. Health in life is a combination of internal and external supports. I can help you explore your internal supports and identify those external supports which help you with trauma, stress, loss. My approach works as an external support to your internal support as you walk through difficult times and situations. I work with individuals, couples, families, adults, adolescents and children. I meet you in the situation and time you find your self by providing support for acceptance of where you are and support towards where you want to be. I work through a Gestalt lens which basically incorporates the use of dialog in therapy to help build and support your awareness. Out of awareness comes choice and out of choice can come change. I use many different lens as I dialog with you: family systems, social construction, attachment, anti-oppression, narrative. Those who choose to work with me will engage in developing a different relationship with themselves by developing relational skills and experiences therapeutically that can be used throughout life. The issues addressed can be broad or specific. Show up as you are and with support you'll see where you go.
