I offer a variety of evidence-based MBIs. Mindfulness-based interventions teach you to pay attention to the present moment without judgment, using practices like meditation. These practices can help you become more aware of your thoughts and feelings, allowing you to manage stress, anxiety, and other challenges more effectively. By cultivating this awareness, you can improve emotional regulation and overall well-being.

I offer EMDR, an evidence-based intervention. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a therapy that helps your brain process and heal from traumatic or distressing experiences. We use bilateral stimulation, like eye movements or tapping, while you focus on the memory. This helps your brain reprocess the memory, reducing its emotional charge and allowing you to feel more peaceful and resilient.

My clinical orientation is through the lens of an IFS perspective. Imagine your mind like a family. You have different “parts” with different jobs, like protectors or worriers. Internal Family Systems helps you understand these parts, connect with your calm, wise “Self,” and create inner harmony. It’s about healing, not fixing.

I've completed the highly experiential Level 1 Internal Family Systems (IFS) training. This 90+ hour program deeply immerses participants in the model's practical application. Through extensive supervised practice, live demonstrations, and personal exploration, I gained a profound, embodied understanding of IFS principles. It's a comprehensive training that integrates conceptual learning with direct, lived experience.

I'm trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), having completed an EMDRIA-approved program. This comprehensive training included significant experiential practice, where I engaged in supervised client and therapist roles, allowing me to directly apply and deeply understand EMDR's powerful, evidence-based techniques for processing distressing experiences.

I bring a trauma-informed yoga background and ongoing study in body-based approaches to my work as a somatic therapist. This helps me support clients in noticing how stress and trauma live in the body, not just the mind, and in building real tools for calming an overwhelmed nervous system. Sessions often weave breath, movement, and grounding practices together with talk therapy, so healing happens on every level, not only the cognitive one.
