Areas of practice
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy offers space to understand what you are experiencing in the present while also exploring the experiences and patterns that may be contributing to it. Clients often come to me for trauma, self-worth, life transitions, relationship concerns, and experiences that continue to feel unresolved. I also work with professionals navigating demanding or high-responsibility roles, including the ways work-related pressure can affect identity, relationships, emotional well-being, and life outside of work.
My approach is integrative and may draw from psychodynamic and attachment-based perspectives, trauma-focused work, mindfulness, and EMDR. I also attend to how experiences can affect emotional and neurobiological responses, allowing our work to consider both insight and the ways the body and nervous system may continue to respond to what has happened.
Couples Therapy
Couples often come to therapy when communication has become difficult, conflict feels repetitive, trust has been disrupted, or emotional or physical connection has changed. Others come because their relationship is important to them and they want to understand one another more deeply or strengthen the way they navigate life together. Because each partner brings their own history, experiences, and ways of relating, I pay attention to both individual perspectives while also keeping the relationship itself in view.
My couples work is informed by attachment-based approaches, Gottman Method training, psychodynamic thinking, and an understanding of how each partner’s individual history can influence the relationship. Areas we may explore include communication, trust and betrayal, intimacy, recurring conflict, life transitions, parenting differences, and strengthening emotional connection.
Family & Co-Parenting Therapy
Family therapy can provide space to understand difficulties within the context of relationships, roles, and the experiences each person brings to the family. Rather than locating the problem entirely within one person, we look at how patterns of interaction may be contributing to distress and what may help the family move forward differently. With families, I work systemically and may draw from structural and solution-focused family therapy to better understand relationship patterns, strengthen communication, and support meaningful change.
This work may be helpful for families navigating transitions, changing relationships, behavioral or emotional concerns, grief or loss, and other experiences affecting the family as a whole. I also offer co-parenting work for separated or divorced parents seeking a more thoughtful and effective way to navigate parenting across households.
EMDR & Trauma Therapy
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a structured approach to trauma treatment that can help the brain process experiences that remain distressing or feel unresolved. Using bilateral stimulation within a carefully paced therapeutic process, EMDR can support changes in the emotional, cognitive, and physiological responses associated with difficult experiences. My trauma work also includes experience supporting survivors of sexual assault, domestic and intimate partner violence, and other experiences involving safety, trust, and relational trauma.
EMDR may be particularly helpful when insight alone has not changed the way an experience continues to affect you. I completed EMDR training through the Institute for Creative Mindfulness and am a member of the EMDR International Association. My developing research also explores the integration of EMDR within couples therapy.
