Attachment is how we bond. It is our first experiences in life that taught us (for better, or worse) "how" to get our needs met from other people. For a lot of us, those first attachments were not the healthiest - which taught us behaviors that also may not be healthy. We will work together to identify your particular attachment style, and find ways for your to grow and heal any attachment related wounds.

Body image is an intense struggle for many, many people. Cis gendered men are particularly under represented in this discussion. My particular focus is in helping men heal this wound, but regardless of gender or sexuality this issue impacts almost everyone to some degree, especially in the hyper-filtered, social media obsessed world we find ourselves in today. Let's talk about your specific experience and how we can create healing for you, it is possible!

Emotional Eating will look different for each individual involved. Do you notice whenever your stressed or anxious - you head for the fast food drive through? Or maybe you mindlessly munch at the end of the day and to the late night? Is "secret eating" a struggle? Whatever your particular struggle is with emotional eating, we will work together to help you grow and heal. You can have a healthy relationship with your emotions - and food!

Internal Family Systems is a form of therapy that helps us recognize that we as people are made up of various "parts". What we mean by "parts" is that we have different aspects to us, to our personality and sometimes it feels like those parts are in a tug-o-war contest! The actual form of parts work I use is called Redecision Therapy which helps us to integrate our parts and reduce the internal conflict we often experience amongst our own parts.

Psychodynamic Therapy is a form of talk therapy that is wide ranging and eclectic. It involves recognizing emotions and patterns in your life and uncovering the deeper layers of how those patterns came into being. It is very beneficial in improving self-reflection and insight as well as promoting emotional growth.
