Individual Therapy for Adults 

I believe the decision to engage in therapy is a radical act of self-love, communicating a heartfelt interest in creating change. With this in mind, my primary aim is to create a therapeutic environment where you can reflect on areas of tension and discomfort in your current life, identify and understand outdated and no-longer-helpful patterns and beliefs, and ultimately connect to your truer self with deeper acceptance and trust. 

I am experienced in and enjoy working with: 

• Trauma, including 'old trauma', post-traumatic stress, and collective trauma

• Grief, loss, bereavement 

• Depression, 'low mood,' and anxiety and panic

• Life transitions and identity formation 

• Living with chronic health conditions, including adjusting to new health concerns

• Medical trauma, including interpersonal and systemic harms

• Caregiver stress, including healthcare provider stress and burn-out

My therapeutic work is informed by Control Mastery Theory, a psychodynamic and relational approach to psychotherapy.  From that foundation, I draw from several modalities to promote well-being, including the mindfulness practices of meditation and movement, harm reduction principles, Attachment Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I am trained in both EMDR and Flash Technique and can bring both treatment modalities into our work together as needed. 

Having spent 15+ yrs working in medical settings, I am passionate about supporting people in healing medical trauma and working towards a more empowered experience seeking healthcare. I look forward to the day where all of us can celebrate seeking care for our whole selves, body, mind and spirit.
