One of the most common questions I get from potential clients is “what are the types of modalities you use in your work?”

The short answer: my style is eclectic, integrative, and holistic. 

The long answer: my style is informed by some of the great theories in psychology, including the following. 

• attachment theory 
• parts work (multiplicity of Self)
• the idea that imagination is imperative in the healing process
• Buddhist philosophy
• sex-positivity
• bringing the unconscious material in our psyches into our conscious awareness has powerful healing benefits
• trauma is stored in the physical and emotional body 
• we use the coping skills we do today because, at one time, they kept us psychologically safe
• self-awareness is a key to changing patterns of behavior
• self-compassion is another key to changing patterns of behavior
• it’s the therapeutic relationship that heals, beyond any one specific technique
• insight, followed by action are both requirements to create lasting change
• it takes courage to heal
