New to Grow
Hello I'm Adrian. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and work with individuals, couples, and families. Working from a systemic perspective, I look at how the whole system is interacting and functioning. I use a Narrative approach and Brainspotting. I am interested in the narratives or rules that we have picked up from our families of origin, relationships, and experiences. Often, these rules are helpful in the beginning and become a source of struggle down the road. Brainspotting is a trauma modality. More information can be found at brainspotting.com.
I am very unstructured when it comes to style. I usually will ask what is on your mind and listen. I find that the things clients need/want to speak about comes to the surface. We go from there.
My approach to therapy is creating a therapeutic space that is collaborative, authentic, and respectful. I consider you to be the expert on your life and relationships. I am simply following along. Think of me as a consultant, supporting you as you explore the possibilities and solutions already within you, your relationships, and your family.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting uses a different part of the brain to process information compared to regular talk therapy. Find out more at brainspotting.com.
Narrative
I am interested in the narratives or rules that we learn from our families of origin, relationships, etc. These rules are often helpful in the beginning and later on become an issue.
