Integrative therapy is a progressive form of psychotherapy that combines different therapeutic tools and approaches to fit the needs of the individual client. 

We carefully consider what the individual is ready, willing and able to do with courage and compassion. Being able to manage distress can sometimes mean being practical. We address situations tactically to lower distress, which then opens the possibility for depth work.

The Possibility of Depth

When possible to go deeper, we collaboratively explore past experiences as they impact the here and now. The development of greater awareness and agency reduces distress. 

We take a look at what you see, and also what is unacknowledged underlying your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. This often manifests through symbols, dreams and meanings attached to our experiences.

Then we work toward either acceptance or change, finding expression for what is “unlived,” the parts of you that you want to express but currently remain hidden. In other words, to be at peace with who you are.

As moments of fear and anxiety creep up, being with someone who can hear and see us for who we are helps to find the strength to step outside of thoughts and feelings to experience a greater awareness and freedom. Being able to respond and not simply react.

Ultimately, therapy helps you take personal responsibility, create greater self-awareness, and lead a more fulfilling life.

Couples get stuck in patterns, which can raise walls and resentments. EFT fosters a safe place for couples to explore the emotions they bring into the room, so that each partner can see the “dance” they play out in the here and now.

Awareness leads to vulnerable and often courageous discussion where both parties lower walls and open hearts. Honest communication helps to change the dynamic and create more appreciation, confidence, and love than ever before.
