Integrated Individual Therapy is what I call my approach to therapy. A core value of mine is to treat everyone with dignity and respect. To me that includes, acknowledging, understanding, and engaging all aspects of what makes us who we are. We are complex individuals, with unique: stories, life events, neurobiology, world views, upbringings and surroundings. In my experience, personally and professionally, having an inclusive, collaborative and integrative approach allows us to create and live fuller lives. 

This type of therapy is guided by your needs, allowing us to tailor your sessions specifically for you. Some people need more somatic/body-centered support, while others have a central nervous system that needs more balancing and attunement. Some prefer to talk it out and be guided with mirroring and self-reflection, yet others are searching for a spiritual connection and/or a deeper trust of their intuition/inner wisdom. You and I will design your sessions together. It is important for me to offer honest feedback, nudge you past your comfort zones, and to be as transparent as possible with you. However, in my opinion, that should not be done without kindness, respect , and your awareness that the choice to stay where you are or change is all yours.

  Have you ever heard the expression "there is power in numbers"? This is one great reason to consider doing group work.

  Have you ever heard the expression "there is power in numbers"? This is one great reason to consider doing group work. In my experience, both as the facilitator and the participant, group settings tend to provide a very accurate mirror to the intrapersonal and interpersonal patterns that drive our lives outside of group. Another way to describe group, is that it serves as a ‘microcosm to the macrocosm’ of life. The dynamics that show up in group help us relate to ourselves and others with less defenses and less hiding. Because there are more people than in individual therapy, the feedback, connection, validation, and solution-generation that occurs in group is tremendous. Finally, group work can exponentially support and boost the benefits of our inner individual work, whether we are soul searching, working with a mentor/teacher, or in individual therapy.

Wellness Groups, because they are focused on  well-being, growth, support, and personal development, are open to participants everywhere, as long as access to the necessary technology is available. Currently all groups are online. 

I do ask to meet with you before you join Group Therapy or a Wellness Group, to make sure we are both on the same page and that the group is a good match for you right now. On a few occasions, I may ask for an attendance recommendation letter from your therapist for you to attend Group Therapy.
