My Ideal Client

Now taking new clients on a limited basis. Therapy is about building a space where we can be honest and free of judgement, then watch as our best self emerges. Traumas big and small can make life feel like a minefield and cause us to question our own self-worth. Therapy is a tool for powerful healing, practicing a secure attached connection, and revealing a clearer picture of who we are and who we aim to be.

How I Can Help You

I specialize in EMDR for trauma, Internal Family Systems for meeting and healing our Exiled parts; Mentalization Based Therapy for issues such as Borderline Personality Disorder; Jungian techniques such as working with dreams, Attachment-informed strategies to improve relationships, and other perspectives useful for a healing connection.

My Values as a Therapist

When someone sees the best in us, it becomes easier to see that for ourselves. In therapy I work to find and honor the best possibilities of my client, fostering a connection of trust and honesty and extends both ways. Email me with any questions or to ask for details of what my practice offers.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • EMDR External link

    Trained by the EMDR Institute for trauma treatment (including over telehealth). A very powerful and evidence-based treatment for resolving traumas big and small.

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) External link

    IFS is a lens to view therapy where one's internal conflicts are made explicit as sub-personalities and engaged with from a place of love and fairness (titled Self, in the theory). This approach can make sense of longstanding patterns of behavior, resolve feeling "stuck" in various places in life, and let one heal and move forward with a new sense of wholeness.

  • Attachment Theory External link

    Mentalization Based Therapy derived from Attachment Theory. Person-Centered work to establish model of the secure relationship in therapy and allow for Attachment style repair.
