I believe therapy works best when you feel the most comfortable with your therapist. The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors to aid in healing. If for whatever reason our relationship doesn’t feel like the right fit, I will help you to find a therapist that does. Appropriate care for you is of the upmost importance to me.

Yes. Outside of a few exceptions for safety reasons (self/other harm or danger) what is shared with me is confidential. Your privacy, safety, and trust are very important to me.

The length of therapy depends on each person’s unique goals and needs. Some people attend sessions for a shorter period of time to work through specific issues, while others choose to attend longer-term and find it valuable towards personal growth.

I approach therapy with the intention of honoring each person’s uniqueness— to meet you exactly where you’re at. This means slowing down long enough to notice and name your desires and needs. I work through a trauma-informed and attachment-based lens. I utilize HOCI (Healing Our Core Issues)/DART (Developmental and Relational Trauma), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Inner Child work and Reparenting, Narrative Therapy, IFS (Internal Family Systems), CBT, EFT (Emotinally-Focused Therapy), Gottman Method, and experiential techniques.

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is a modality designed to help people process and heal from upsetting or traumatic experiences and reduce the impact of trauma. During EMDR, I will guide you through coping and grounding skills, discuss and deepen ways to help your system feel safe through out processing, and provide options for you to utilize bilateral stimulation while briefly recalling difficult situations or false beliefs about yourself. The goal is to help your brain reprocess memories, beliefs, or experiences so that they become less overwhelming, more integrated into your overall life experience, and your sense of self deepens. This is used to help treat acute and complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and various stressors.

HOCI is an approach to personal growth that focuses on identifying and working through deep emotional wounding that often times began in childhood. These core issues- such as low self-esteem, feeling not good enough (shame), fear of abandonment, perfectionism, control, or boundary issues- can affect every facet of life (relationships, behaviors, beliefs, and esteem).

The goal is to help us both understand and bring awareness to where these patterns have come from, develop healthier ways of coping and thinking, and building greater emotional/physical/mental well-being and self-acceptance. This can help you respond, not react, to life in a more balanced and fulfilling way.
