Family Therapy

I work with individuals, couples and families to understand and improve relationships. This can be with an adult client's family of origin as they work through anxiety or depression, a couple wanting to improve their communication, a teenager and their caregiver struggling to find common ground, a parent seeking to work through their own traumatic experiences in order to improve their relationships, and many more!

Eclectic

I practice Restoration Therapy, which is a newer theory that combines mindfulness, attachment, experiential interventions and behavior change. Restoration Therapy is also highly influenced by Narrative, Internal Family Systems, EMDR and Contextual Family Therapy.

Anxiety

Anxiety speeds us up! Mindfulness can help slow the process down and help us make wiser decisions about how to move forward. I work with many clients in both individual, family and group therapy to address anxiety using the latest developments in mindfulness.

Relationship / Marriage Issues

I have greatly benefited from couples and family therapy, and have been trained extensively in the Restoration Model, which assists couples (and all clients!) to identify the source of their fight/flight responses, and then empower themselves to act in more loving and trustworthy ways towards those they care about (including ourselves!).

Chronic Pain or Illness

As someone who lives with an autoimmune disorder, I have spent the last 4 years educating myself on the connection between our mental health (anxiety, depression, brain fog, lack of motivation, etc) and our physical health and gut health. I often work with clients in partnership with medical professionals to address the mental health side of chronic illness: learning to control what you can, reduce stress, improve nutrition and prioritize a regulated nervous system to increase wellbeing.

Historical Trauma

The effects of trauma can reverberate down the generations. Additionally, secondary trauma can have similar effects as first-hand trauma or chronic stress. As the son of a combat veteran, I am passionate about helping clients identify ways in which their own traumatic experiences (or those of their loved ones) are impacting their mental health. As we learn to heal from trauma, our relationships and personal wellbeing will be positively impacted as well.
