EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) can be used alone or integrated with other therapies to treat trauma, reduce distress, and provide significant psychological and somatic relief for clients. I am an EMDR Consultant and consider EMDR to be an incredibly effective and powerful tool for healing. For more information go to: http://www.emdria.org/

Relational 

A relational approach in therapy highlights how our relationships with ourselves, others, and our world impact our overall wellbeing and happiness. I prioritize our therapeutic relationship in order to provide you with a safe space to explore changes within yourself and practice new ways of connecting with others and the world. I also draw from an interpersonal neurobiology framework, which understands the human experience through the integration of the brain, the mind, and relationships.

Narrative 

Narrative therapy examines the ways we are influenced by the stories we tell about our selves and our lives. When we explore these narratives and our ability to retell our stories in new ways we realize a powerful opportunity for healing. I have found narrative therapy to be an incredibly effective therapeutic tool -- fun, creative, and transformative.

Autism

In addition to psychotherapy and clinical supervision, I provide neurodiversity-affirming comprehensive assessments for Level 1 Autism in adults as a member of the Empower Psychological provider team (https://www.empowerwhoyouare.com). I also support adults processing and integrating an adult diagnosis of autism through ongoing therapy.

PTSD

I work with PTSD and complex trauma through an integration of multiple modalities including EMDR, parts-work, Interpersonal Neurobiology, and attachment-focused therapy. Together these approaches blend the science of neurobiology and the brain, personal narrative, and somatic experiences to allow for healing of your whole system, building safety and connection within your mind and body, and the world around you.
