Trauma - Informed
Safety and comfort are foundations for being able to do deep therapeutic work with trauma. You are the expert of you, and I prioritize your autonomy and agency in our work. I integrate trauma-informed theories in my work with clients, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), and nervous system-based approaches (Polyvagal Theory).
Emotion-Focused
Profound healing is possible when our emotional experiences are seen and held by safe others. I pull from Emotion-Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) to support clients in courageously experiencing their emotions. I’m passionate about helping clients increase their understanding of their emotional experiences, ultimately using their emotions to create change.
Authentic ity- Centered
I practice with authenticity and celebrate the uniqueness that each client brings with them into the therapeutic space. Humor and creativity often find their way into sessions. I weave in elements of Existential Therapy, which celebrates each individual’s innate authenticity and creativity. I consider it a privilege to build deep, healing connections with folks from all different paths of life.
