My Approach
I use a relational style and a combination of evidence-based, trauma-informed cognitive-behavioral (or "talk") therapy, expressive arts, somatic approaches, internal family systems (or "parts work"), and mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques to connect you with your body, mind, and spirit. My approach is client-centered, using a psychodynamic lens to track where issues may have started, and how they show up in your life in the present. I will work with you to develop the skills to navigate the feelings that come up as we explore. I weave in the language and practice of ecotherapy whenever possible, because nature has its own way of re-setting us and helping us to feel more grounded in our bodies and nervous systems. This can look like anything from grounding work in a natural setting, to a walk and talk through the trees, to tending to a plant in your home or office. I like to say, plant a seed, see what happens!
It is my privilege and honor to work with you.
When working with children, I use a holistic, developmentally appropriate, child-centered approach to play therapy. Play offers a safe and nurturing way for a child to cope with and express their emotions, while developing new solutions and coping skills to navigate their day-to-day life. I incorporate trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy ( TF-CBT), expressive arts, and somatics in order to work with adolescents and teens. I come with an abundance of experience working with children and families, and it is my honor to do so.
Therapy can look a lot of different ways, and I will work with you to find a way in which our time together facilitates growth and healing. "We are all just walking each other home." -Ram Dass
