As you begin to discover the ways your past is alive and fueling your current distressing feelings and behavior patterns you will be enabled to start making changes that serve you so much better.  Together we will explore not only what is happening as you encounter life, but the meanings you make of it as well. Detecting the long-standing patterns of being, relating and communicating that silently underlie your everyday decisions, thoughts, and actions is the first step to making new, life-enhancing choices. 

Therapy also enhances your quality of life by introducing or revealing elements that bring you joy, meaning and a sense of fulfillment.  Innovative and surprising tools and approaches that enrich and harness your imagination will enliven creative, spiritual and relational areas of your life, unlocking your capacity for passion and enjoyment.

While this approach allows us to construct an overall, big picture of who and where you are, and, especially, where you want to go, it also incorporates the use of specific therapeutic strategies such as  mind/body/spirit healing, dreamwork, journaling, inner child work, reparenting, mindfulness, shadow work, active imagination, energy work, rituals, and more – whatever helps accomplish your goals for therapy.
