Innerwork

Integrative psychotherapy

Innerwork is a multimodal approach to personal growth based on, what I believe are the most useful, personal growth techniques. Innerwork is a process that provides insight, support, guidance, and skills facilitating growth and increased awareness through varied techniques tailored to the individual needs and preferences of the client.

Innerwork can be used as a complimentary practice to coaching by individuals who desire and are able to be responsible for deeper work. Innerwork can also be used as a separate therapeutic intervention.

As needed Innerwork draws on:

·      Expressive Arts

·      Sub-personality Techniques

·      Somatic Approaches

·      Spiritual Counseling

Expressive Arts utilizes creative forms such as drawing, movement, and sounding to help clients process intense emotions or work through deeply embedded issues. I offer Expressive Arts techniques when clients are having difficulty connecting to their feelings or are feeling overwhelmed. This facilitates clarity and releases blocked emotions.

Sub-personality Techniques use the imagination to help clients come to a deeper understanding of who they are and help them navigate the complexity of how they think and feel. Sub-personality techniques are often used to help clients change behavior, to regain access to parts of themselves, and to work with feelings such as fear, anger, grief, or shame.

Somatic Techniques employ bodywork to integrate a client's mental, emotional, spiritual and physical aspects. I offer sessions of somatic approaches to clients who are naturally inclined to process issues kinesthetically or are seeking to increase their mind-body awareness. Somatic approaches can also be appropriate for clients healing their body image or as part of healing from physical or sexual abuse.

Spiritual Counseling aims to empower a person to further her or his growth through recognizing and becoming a part of the greater experience of life and provides a client with support and techniques to more completely experience his or her spiritual nature. I offer spiritual techniques in a non-dogmatic way to clients who wish to develop this part of their life regardless of their spiritual orientation.
