Individualized care, uniquely crafted for your journey.
My services
I provide individual therapy for adult clients through in person and telehealth sessions. Below are some of my most frequently requested counseling methods.
Creativity
Creativity involves using your imagination and capacity for joy to open new ways of living. Some examples of this include visual art, which facilitates emotional processing, or cathartic movement, which can relieve stress. Clients are invited to be creative so that they can create more satisfying lives both in and out of session.
Brainspotting (BSP)
This is a body-based therapy that utilizes the brain’s natural capacity for healing. Many talk based therapies neglect the wisdom of our bodies, which can lead to a shallow ‘intellectual’ processing of past pain, while frustrating symptoms remain. Brainspotting uses simultaneous mind-body activation to retrain the nervous system out of dysfunction and into to a healthy homeostasis. Primarily used in trauma processing, brainspotting also helps clients move beyond ‘stuck points’, inner conflict, and indecision. Click here to learn more.
Puppets in Therapy
Puppets are part of an ancient storytelling tradition. I use them to help clients get out of their heads and into their bodies. Puppets can represent feelings, people, or patterns. They often help with tolerating intense emotions, navigating relationship conflict, and practicing self compassion. Many clients report getting to the root of their problems much faster through this type of work.
Parts Work
Parts work honors the unconscious inner conflict associated with change. Many clients deeply desire change, even though it can be scary or difficult. In their determination for a better life they may attempt to bypass their anxiety, resentment, or grief through emotional avoidance or self shaming. These feelings can lead to self sabotaging behaviors and difficulty maintaining desired habits. Parts work helps clients learn to examine themselves with curiosity, compassion, and compromise. Through this lens, clients gain greater self understanding and the ability to achieve realistic goals.
