My Approach

Relational & Attachment Focus = The therapeutic relationship we build is a reflection of the relationships in your life. Sometimes we just need someone to listen, and help us unravel our thoughts or past patterns, as we navigate this season of life — I’d love to be that listener.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) = What parts of you are showing up now? What role do those parts play in your identity? Who are you in parenthood and how does that part interact with all your other parts, past and present? Parts work supports answering these question and offers a gentle approach to self-discovery working from present to past.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) = one of the most well researched, and effective, approaches to trauma treatment. By applying EMDR protocol we’ll make sense of present mental health symptoms and the connection to past experiences. EMDR offers an organized approach to trauma healing working from past to present.
