Nice to meet you.

I love this work. With over a decade of experience in diverse clinical settings, it still feels like an honor to be part of your journey of deeper self-understanding and transformation. I will partner with you to discover the ways in which past relationships and experiences have shaped you and may be contributing to current “stuck points” and find new ways of relating to yourself and others. My diverse training (detailed below) allows me to tailor therapy to your specific needs, ensuring they align with your personal journey and goals.

My methods

EXPERIENCE

Relational Psychodynamic

Relational therapy recognizes that we come to understand ourselves and the world through relationships. Failing to meet our core needs, including our need to feel loved, understood, and connected results in psychological distress in ways that are sometimes difficult to identify. Relational therapy focuses on improving the quality of our relationships with self and others.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based psychotherapy treatment that alleviates the distress associated with traumatic or painful memories. When left "undigested" these past experiences do not stay in the past but very much affect our present.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

In cognitive behavioral therapy, the focus is on identifying problematic or unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaving, and making changes at the thought and behavior level. This structural type of therapy is directive and goal-oriented.

IFS Informed

IFS is an evidence-based therapy which posits that every person has multiple “parts” which serve important purposes but are often in conflict with each other. IFS therapy helps individuals find more inner harmony and healing for parts that are wounded.
