Areas of Expertise
Psychotherapy, EMDR,
Counseling, and Couples Therapy
Psychotherapy & Counseling
My practice is integrative, utilizing evidenced-based treatments largely grounded in psychodynamic theory, IFS (Internal Family Systems), Polyvagal Theory, and CBT. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I work with teens, 17 and older, individuals, couples, and adults seeking EMDR.
I have experience working with adolescents and adults with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, self-harm, history of suicidal ideation, OCD, difficult life transitions, grief, feelings of shame, trouble with emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Whether it is short-term counseling, stabilization, or long-term psychotherapy you need, we can work together to find a treatment plan that fits your unique goals and personal needs.
Couples Therapy
I am Gottman Level 2 trained and utilize Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) as the foundation for my couples work. I have experience working with couples experiencing trauma and crisis, for example, addiction, infidelity, grief and loss, and high conflict. I also see couples for maintenance work and short-term therapy needs.
EMDR and Trauma-Informed Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) uses the brain's natural healing ability to heal, process past overwhelming life experiences, and regulate your nervous system. Clients may be referred for EMDR therapy, to supplement their individual work, or utilize EMDR as a part of our work together. IFS and Polyvagal Therapy are integrated to support a trauma-informed approach.
