Virtual

I believe that everyone has inherent strength. While I can be direct and to the point, I understand that this conversation is about your life, not mine. I come from an inclusive feminist background and am comfortable working with all genders. I also believe in the power of laughter and that everyone is capable of leading their best life. I live in a multi dog/cat/parrot household and odds are good you will not just hear them but may occasionally see them. No worries they don’t judge and have been sworn to HIPAA secrecy.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll take some time to get to know each other and see if we are a good fit. We'll also work on creating a plan of care that aligns with your goals. I’m interested in understanding what you want to work on and what you expect from me as your therapist. We'll also discuss practical details like visits and scheduling to ensure they fit your needs.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My strengths lie in knowing when to push, when to step back, and when to bring in a sense of humor. I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of people, and I’m always eager to learn more about others.

My treatment methods

Narrative

I love narrative therapy, we all have stories of our lives and so do those around us. This is how we not only view ourselves but how we view the world around us. In therapy we learn to tell a different story about ourselves one that is not as harsh, filled with more self love and caring. One that we can see where we can weave a softer ending.

EMDR

As well as EMDR Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing a therapy that uses eye movements or bilateral stimulation to help reprogram the brain‘s responses to stress for trauma processing.

Psychodynamic

I use this treatment often as I believe it helps you understand yourself better its the AHA moments

Sex Therapy

I am a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional, working towards my Sex Therapist certificate. I am qualified and comfortable working with couples and individuals on low sex, no sex relationships, redefining monogamy with or without the after effects of an affair. Changing gender and cultural roles, body image issues, sexual dysfunction, sex trauma and regaining pleasure after sexual trauma.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

I am currently being trained in IFS and will be using it more and more in my practice
