Welcome!

My personal approach draws from a variety of therapies (such as EMDR, interpersonal neurobiology and attachment theory), all of which are rooted in the fundamental principles of non-judgmental acceptance, authenticity, and promote a deeper understanding of how we relate, both to others and to ourselves. Beyond the exploration of old patterns of beliefs and behaviors, my focus is on helping you develop knowledge and tools that will facilitate sustained growth long after our work together has ended.

 

I work with adults and older teens (16+). My clinical focus includes PTSD/trauma processing, anxiety and panic disorders, grief and loss, relational boundary work, depression, and I have a special interest in working with families coping with a dementia diagnosis.

 

I have extensive training and experience in a wide range of practices and approaches, including Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), EMDR (including Flash Technique), and CBT. My work is strongly informed by somatic ("bottom-up") therapies, neurobiology, attachment theory, polyvagal theory, and mindfulness-based practices. Having a background in the arts, I'll sometimes use artistic practices in session, when appropriate.

Inclusiveness and cultural competency are strongly held values in my practice. All are welcome regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity/expression. Feel free to reach out if you have questions about me or how I work. If I'm not the right fit for you and your needs, I'll help you find another therapist who is.
