Therapy for Couples, Families, and Individuals



Individual Therapy
Although many mental health practitioners believe that ADHD is genetic, others believe that it stems from early childhood stress during the first years of brain and personality development. When addressing ADHD as a developmental issue, family therapy can be effective, along with medication, self-care and mindfulness. In treating ADHD, I use a form of family therapy known as Bringforthism.
Couples Therapy
Gottman Method Couples Therapy is one of my preferred treatment methods. During my work with couples, we focus on interrupting harmful patterns of interaction; building constructive dialogue; developing self-soothing to prevent conflict escalation; avoiding the attack/defend cycle, and helping learn new ways of talking about issues that appear to be gridlocked.
The other form of couples and family therapy I use is known as Bringforthism. This form of therapy triggers pre-existing systems of belief within couples that enables them to generalize preferred patterns of cognition, emotion and behavior.
Family Therapy
Bringforthism theorizes that the basic mechanism of change is not insight but reflexivity (Tomm, 1987). Language is constitutive via reflexivity: it talks into being preferred outcomes. By bringing forth preferred relationships through language, these preferences are reflexively realized.
Using Bringforthism, I work with families to identify Pathological Interpersonal Patterns (PIPs), Healing Interpersonal Patterns (HIPs), Wellness Interpersonal Patterns (WIPs), and Sociocultural Interpersonal Patterns (SCIPS). The role of attachment is also explored.
