what is integrative psychotherapy?

Our society demands a lot of us. I draw upon my own experiences and credentials in corporate administration, sociology, and mindfulness-based psychotherapy skills to help people assess and understand their needs and roles in their careers or projects, so they can better negotiate and navigate those demands.

I've experience as an activist, volunteer, campaigner, and therapist serving and supporting the LGBT community. I draw from social science, cultural anthropology, and civil justice expertise to support LGBT and non-binary clients whether first discovering their identities as teens or rediscovering new facets of themselves in adulthood.

Human relationships are an essential need, and I work with people in "non-traditional" relationship dynamics, helping them identify their own needs, boundaries, and relationship styles through Attachment-based, psychodynamic, and CBT/DBT techniques so they can create and sustain the types of relationships they seek.

Using Attachment-based psychodynamic theories, emotion-focused therapy techniques, and mindfulness-based techniques, I help people understand their own dating or relationship patterns, assess and evaluate how they might be changed, and implement the changes they want to make in their current or future relationships.

Tapping into my own experiences and expertise in East-West psychology, mindfulness-based CBT & DBT techniques, and psychedelic & transpersonal science, I help clients understand, contextualize, and explore further their spiritual, metaphysical, transcendent, and/or psychedelic experiences.

A change in our work environments, homes, hobbies, families, or other disruption to our usual lives can often bring a rough transition phase. I specialize in supporting clients hoping to ground themselves and push through these transitions with greater confidence, self-assurance, and hope.
