I work with couples and individual seeking life change. I also host conversations with men about masculinity, in an ongoing men’s group. My Ph.D. research is focused on the correlation between epigenetics, ancestral knowledge and family therapy.
My theoretical style is a blend of systems theory, CBT, depth psychology, IMAGO therapy, intergenerational trauma theories and positive psychology. In the tradition of depth psychology, which incorporates the German forefathers of psychology— Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud— and how these theories matriculate in social, religious, cultural, and mythical aesthetics. Personally, I have integrated this psychological knowledge into my love and respect for indigenous cultures that have and continue to educate me as a therapist. Hellinger Systemic Constellation work is very present in my clinical methodology as well.
As part of my work with couples, I use both Imago Relationship Therapy and Gottman Method. This approach is grounded in communication and the power of dialogue—what is a dialogical process. In session, partners are guided to move beyond reactive patterns and instead engage in intentional dialogue, where each person listens deeply, mirrors back what they hear, and validates the other’s experience. This creates a safe container for vulnerability, empathy, and repair.
Imago Relationship Therapy is a form of couples counseling developed by Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt. It integrates psychological theories of attachment, childhood development, and communication to help partners understand how early experiences shape adult relationships. The central technique is the Imago Dialogue, a structured conversation where one partner speaks while the other mirrors, validates, and empathizes. This process fosters safety, reduces defensiveness, and builds deeper emotional connection.
