Integrative Psychodynamic Therapy
This is an individualized, holistic, and relational approach that draws from various modalities and theories, informed by my own experience and trainings and collaboratively with your individual needs. My orientation is grounded in psychodynamic therapy, which considers how past experiences/relationships impact the present and how unconscious or unresolved conflicts might contribute to present challenges. Talking through these experiences and gaining awareness and insight can be powerful in creating space for healing and change. Other approaches integrated might include cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques and mindfulness and somatic practices.

Couples and Families
My integrative psychodynamic approach extends to work with couples and families. Additionally, I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, and my training and work in family mediation. Couples and family therapy can be a valuable space for connection and exploration, for expressing and receiving, and for understanding and being seen and heard. Through this experience and increasing understanding of what might be underneath or connected to conflicts can help break unhealthy or stuck patterns and open opportunities to cultivate and strengthen skills and tools to support your needs and goals.

EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) was founded by Francine Shapiro and recognized as an effective psychotherapy technique for PTSD, to help alleviate distress connected to traumatic or other impactful experiences. I utilize an attachment-focused orientation to EMDR, developed by Laurel Parnell, which emphasizes the value and importance of the therapeutic relationship and can be particularly supportive when there has been early attachment and relational trauma/wounds.

Clinical Supervision and Consultation
I provide individual and group supervision and case consultation for mental health professionals in private practice and within community based organizations. I bring expertise in the field of intimate partner violence.
