About My Clients
I work from an eclectic model encompassing attachment, relational & regulation approaches which are trauma-informed and an emphasis on somatics and CBT techniques. It is an honor to explore, give support, make connections together and be a witness to how emotion moves through each. I find the ongoing dance of healing to be a creative relational art-form where many clinical modalities can and are utilized along the way, and where the quality of relationship is the car that drives change forward.
My Background and Approach
My specialized training and experience began with very young children and families, working from the foundation of attachment theory to create relationship-based interventions. I complimented this therapeutic orientation with Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) training and certification to further my work processing traumatic and disturbing life events which can disrupt critical relationships. All therapeutic interventions that I employ; cognitive-behavioral, trauma-focused, psychodynamic, are grounded in my belief that people develop and adapt to life based on the quality of their relationships. Therefore, I am skilled at helping relieve parenting stress and confusion, complex grief/loss, helping family member's shift systemic conflict, and helping people understand and communicate needs effectively within relationship. My work has expanded to include offering therapeutic support to individuals preparing for and integrating ethnogenic experiences with plant medicines.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe everybody wants to feel good, be connected, and achieve positive presence and clarity of purpose. I have worked with families and individuals for close to a decade to help remove disturbance from traumatic experiences and unresolved grief that can cloud how we see ourselves and relate to others. I believe in helping individuals integrate experiences in a way that promotes the release of negative emotional/behavioral patterns, fosters new insights and restores a sense of trust in self and world. I believe deeply in each person's capacity to reclaim joy in their lives. I find healing work to be an ongoing invitation, opportunity, and birthright for all. I am honored to serve in this effort and to help facilitate the deep transformation that I have seen is very possible. I also love creating music and art, I have a music project that fuels my desire to collaborate with other artists, creatives, and communities as I continue to develop the artist within myself and my message.
