Specialties

  • I provide family therapy to support mutual emotional clarity, utilizing attachment-based modalities, such as Pain in the Heart (PITH) therapy. Whether families come in with goals of reconciliation, closure, increased boundaries, and/or improved communication, my approach supports healing and transparency. My task is to help family members encounter one another truthfully in order to support mutual emotional clarity.

  • Estrangement can take many forms and is often marked by ambiguity and a lack of closure. Individual therapy for family estrangement will address the pain of disconnection, rebuild emotional safety, and begin the process of acceptance, closure, or attachment repair.

  • OCD is characterized by uncontrollable, recurring thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Multiple evidence-based methods support individuals to find peace while living with OCD. I utilize Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help reduce the suffering associated with OCD.

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based practice to support healing of difficult experiences and trauma. Using bilateral stimulation, I support clients to reprocess a past event or multiple events, including but not limited to attachment-based, racial, sexual, and economic trauma, in order to reduce its present emotional charge.

  • Grief and loss is a universal human experience and can take many different forms. Whether your grief is anticipatory, ambiguous, acute, or prolonged, therapy will provide a space to experience, explore, and learn how to carry the profound sorrow of grief and loss as you move forward through life.

  • I work across the life span, supporting children and adolescents to explore their voices and emotions at pivotal developmental stages. I utilize art therapy, narrative therapy, and drama therapy to support children and adolescents with depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, identity questions, and family difficulties, including familial conflict, divorce/separation, and early childhood trauma.
