Therapeutic Scope
While I draw from various evidence-based therapeutic modalities, such as CBT, EFT, IFS, or EMDR (when appropriate), my primary lens is Narrative and Collaborative Therapy plus Mindfulness-based and somatic practices. My experience is that therapy works best as a gentle collaboration, with your lived experience guiding the way for meaningful, lasting change.
Individual
Individual therapy is a space to navigate the ways anxiety, depression, or grief may be holding you back. I measure growth by the tangible changes you experience, in your feelings, your choices, and your relationships, rather than how well you fit a diagnostic label. If EMDR Therapy is appropriate in our work, you will experience a calmness in your nervous system where you are no longer triggered by past trauma experiences.
Couples
Couples Therapy will provide tools to move past repetitive arguments, recognize unhealthy interactional patterns, and develop healthier communication. Assist couples to move away from blame and learn to communicate with clarity and vulnerability.
Family
Family Therapy provides a calm, neutral space to uncover barriers and refresh family communication. We explore the stories families pass down and how culture or circumstances shape everyday life. I welcome everyone’s voice and work to increase problem-solving skills and healthier communication between family members.
