(she/her)
I work with adults on a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, OCD, relationship issues, communication, and intimacy, parenting and family struggles, and insomnia and sleep issues. My practice integrates tools of mindfulness, stress reduction, cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic experiencing, EMDR, and Acceptance and Commitment therapy. I support clients in finding their values and putting those values into action in their daily life.
In the first session, we will explore your reasons for beginning therapy and discuss your desired changes. Collaboratively, we will develop goals for our time together. The following sessions will focus on challenges as they arise as well as experimenting with new ways of being. Keeping your goals in mind will help us see progress, highlight areas in need of greater attention, and celebrate your successes. You can find healing, hope, and deeper connections in your relationships.
In every session I am present as a listener and compassionate supporter, while also viewing my role a bit like a handyman showing up with a box of tools and offering different options for clients to try.
I love working with clients to build curiosity about the challenges of life, and develop greater resilience to navigate challenging and joyful times.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
ACT provides a foundation to increase psychological flexibility by developing mindfulness, acceptance, and committed action.
Attachment-based
My work is grounded in attachment-based theory that emphasizes establishing secure and trusting relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides useful perspectives and tools to address anxiety, depression, OCD, and improve wellbeing.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i)
CBT-i is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy specifically focused for insomnia.
EMDR
I use EMDR in practice to support clients processing and healing trauma in order to achieve greater wellbeing and wholeness.
