My Ideal Client

Now accepting new clients without wait list. Do you feel stuck in the past, weighed down by shame, struggling to be fully seen in your relationships, or just searching for deep meaning in life? Reach out to explore if embarking on a therapy relationship together can help you, and if sought after tools like EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Mentalization Based Therapy (among others) will jumpstart a process of becoming your best and most free self.

How I Can Help You

I specialize in techniques of EMDR for trauma, Internal Family Systems for meeting and healing our exiled parts, Mentalization Based Therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder, Jungian techniques such as dreamwork, and Attachment-informed strategies to improve relationships. These techniques and perspectives compliment a therapy relationship built on deep trust, which can be inherently healing to the patterns of our life and our deep sense of being valid and whole in the world.

My Values as a Therapist

When someone sees the best in us it's easier to see that for ourselves. Therapy at it's best can hold up a healing mirror to ourselves and our lives. In therapy, I work hard to honor the best possibilities of you and support you on a road of healing. Reach out by email with a short description of what you're seeking, and I'll get back to you promptly!

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.

Issues I Treat
