Individuals

I work with individual clients primarily using the Internal Family Systems treatment model, which I have studied for several years on a continuing education basis.

Veterans and trauma-informed practice

I work with a specific number of military veterans, with training and experience over the last twenty years. Working with people who have experienced extreme, military level trauma has been an essential part of my trauma-informed practice.

Individual support

My primary specialization is working with relationships. Yet, as part of that work, I also see relationship clients on an individual basis.

Personal growth in relationships sometimes requires individual support.  Therapists must be specifically trained to be able to see clients individually during the course of their relational therapy.

Initial appointments

Initial appointments are initially dedicated to learning more about personal, family, social and sexual histories  – “multi-level” interviews. The purpose is to understand your personal development path from family-of-origin (including extended and stepfamily) through to your experience within adult relationships (including chosen family.) Erotic and sexual history is also essential to understanding my clients.

Kink & non-monogamy

My work with individual clients who are kink-identified or non-monogamous. Some clients are at an early stage in those identity expressions, others have been living them for decades. Their growth depends on working within an accepting/affirming relationship provided by a dedicated professional.
