My Approach

Through mindfulness, self-compassion and exploring your inner narratives I can help you strengthen the connection to your inner wisdom.

I view therapy as a collaborative process in which we both bring our own experiences and skills. I believe that we are all the experts of our own experiences. I view myself as a facilitator of slowing down, self-compassion, connecting with the ways in which feelings exist in our body, and exploring the ways in which we respond to our thoughts and feelings.

Modalities.

Relational Therapy.

One of the strongest predictors of successful therapy is the therapeutic relationship. Our work together will focus on building a strong relationship. I work to create a relationship with my clients where they feel able to set boundaries with me, say no, share their wants and needs, and take up space.

EMDR Therapy.

I am trained to offer EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy. EMDR therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people heal from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders. For more information on EMDR, check out this youtube video.

Inference Based Therapy.

Inference Based therapy is a treatment modality for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I received training in IBT through the OCD Lived Experience Collective. I especially enjoy working with folks dealing with the intersection of OCD and eating disorders, disordered eating, and exercise addiction. You can learn more about IBT here.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy.

Mindfulness is the simple & transformative power of non-judgemental awareness. I believe that transformation occurs through being present with ourselves. Mindfulness as an ongoing practice can help with emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and the impacts of trauma.

Narrative therapy.

Narrative therapy involves exploring the impacts of the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves, the world, and other people. Humans are meaning makers and the stories we tell ourselves impact the way think, feel, and show up in the world.
