Research and other scholarly writing have increasingly supported the importance of taking a holistic approach to many areas of health and well-being. Consistent with a holistic approach, I explore individual symptoms and presenting concerns within the context of interconnected systems. Often times in therapy, clients present with specific complaints. Taken at face value, symptoms are just that, symptoms. However, through a process of deeper exploration one may be able to realize the true meaning of the symptom and possibly its cause giving the individual more choice and power in resolving their initial concerns.

Emotional well-being is often related to other systems: physical, spiritual, financial, interpersonal, environmental, and political to name a few. Paying attention to each of our systems and their relationships to each other can contribute to overall emotional health. It can be a profoundly changing experience to explore these various parts of ourselves in the context of a non-judgmental professional relationship.
