While I work with clients to find a modality that fits each individual’s unique story, I primarily practice “bottom up” approaches of EMDR therapy, somatic focused modalities, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed therapy.

EMDR therapy helps your brain and body reprocess traumatic memories (or aspects of memories such as thoughts, emotions, body sensations, or images) so they no longer feel emotionally charged and do not continue to impact your present.

IFS informed therapy is a way to understand and explore your inner world. This approach focuses on self-compassion and aims to harmonize every part of us.

Somatic based therapies focus on the mind-body connection and is an alternative to talk driven therapy. It is about learning to trust the bodies signals rather than overriding them.

I view you as the expert on your life and approach our work together as collaborative, encouraging clients to provide feedback on how our sessions are going to make sure we are making meaningful change that fits their goals.
