Specialties
I utilize PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy) in my work with couples. This approach combines developmental neuroscience, attachment theory, and arousal regulation. PACT supports couples toward a new way of engaging. When secure functioning is the foundation of our partnerships we are able to expand in profound and satisfying ways, not only in our partnerships and families, but out into the world.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a bilateral eye movement therapy that utilizes memory reconsolidation and voluntary image replacement to help us get unstuck and expand.. Most people require 1-5 sessions to process specific events. This is not an ongoing treatment; these are integration and expansion sessions. Many folks come in to do a few ART sessions while working with another long-term therapist.
Loss or Grief, Personal Growth, Spirituality
Rooted in the stability that clay offers, this three-part gathering invites you to create with your hands, honor your loss, and make space for your inner life. In a small community of like-minded folks, you’ll create your own altar from clay and consider how to cultivate personal ritual as an ongoing practice. We’ll spend time in meditation, storytelling, and creation as we make space for ourselves and each other. January 11 & 25, 2026: 10am-12:30pm February 8, 2026: 10:30am-12pm
