What to Expect:

Therapy can take time. IFS is a powerful modality that can start unwinding trauma right away. We may see changes in our life immediately, but it may also take time as we also need time to build the container that will help these changes be sustained.

Many people start sessions on a weekly basis, to get the momentum happening. However, if time or finances are a concern, we can spread out sessions to work with your needs.

Online Sessions:

The type of therapy I do lends very well to the online format. We will primarily use Zoom. Telephone sessions are also available.

It’s an absurd gamble to imagine that at the time of death you will have the physical strength, the emotional stability and the mental clarity to do the work of a lifetime. Don’t wait. Practice now.

Retrieving what is of value from the debris of some cataclysm in your life is no instantaneous affair..... There is a confidence which can only be achieved by having lost a great deal to discover what, at the bottom is enduring.
