Psychotherapy

My Approach

My goal as a therapist is to be helpful to you while also being respectful of your time and money.

I want to offer perspectives, tools, and experiences that you can use to deepen your understanding of yourself, of the challenges you are facing, and of your own innate power to transmute those challenges into opportunities for refinement and growth.

My general approach balances being warm, empathetic, and validating with making observations, encouraging ways of practicing new patterns of thoughts and behaviors, and building up your confidence in your own intuition and abilities.

The therapeutic approach I use is integrative- making use of research-informed, evidenced based practices as well as the art of creating healing spaces and encounters.

Specific Modalities I use

  • informed by Queer, Feminist, and Disability theory

  • A systemic and relational application of behavior-based interventions

  • Jungian Psychoanalysis, Modern/Contemporary Applications of Psychoanalytic Thought, Depth Psychology

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Human Validation Process Model, Gestalt Therapy

  • Narrative Exposure Therapy, Expressive Art Therapy, Attachment-Based Family Therapy, Somatic Interventions

  • Offering information and resources related to symptoms you may be experiencing that help to empower the client and provide new perspectives

  • Modern and integrated use of behavior-based practices help to provide a practical grounding to the psychotherapeutic work

  • Pulling together work around your personal values, skills for regulating your nervous system, and intentionally selected behavioral changes for meaningful progress towards your goals
