As a contextual family therapist, I’ll work with you and your family to explore your situation from a perspective that encompasses the larger systems of your family of origin, your current family, your friendships, community, work, and school. In addition to talk sessions, I utilize creative modalities such as Sand Tray Therapy in which you use miniatures to represent aspects of your life. I use traditional and enhanced meditative techniques to teach mindfulness and self-regulation, balance the brain and add another dimension to the healing and learning process.
Mindfulness is so very simple that you and your children can learn about it in just a few minutes right here. You can begin your mindfulness practice with some very short meditations and expand it, when you’re ready, with these longer practices.
While I am a family therapist, I welcome you to come to therapy as an individual. Our work can be accomplished more powerfully when your family is present and participating but I understand that, for many reasons, this is not always possible.
