Online Therapy

Integrated Relational Psychotherapy for couples and individuals that integrates the body, mind and spirit. Together we can move toward healing.

Individual Therapy

You are a unique individual and the teller of your own story. You are worth the space and time to be heard and emphatically cared for. I work with individuals across the lifespan to listen, identify a healing path and move toward healing.

Couples Therapy

When we first fall in love we don’t always expect that hardships, distance and difference can make loving relationships feel difficult at times as you both grow and change as individuals. I work with couples to help them identify the dance the couple has created for relationship survival and then help them untangle the complicated aspects of loving and being loved to create the dynamic experience of being in a long-term committed relationship.

Treatment approaches

I use a variety of proven methods to address your specific needs.
Attachment-Based
The ways we attach in our earliest relationships can impact the way we relate in our adult relationships.  I hope that we can create a secure bond in the therapy environment to help you navigate what it feels like in other relationships.
Relational Therapy
Our relationship (client and therapist) is paramount to the effectiveness of therapy. I will use my fully human self in relationship with you, to help you move toward healing. This will mean examining the impact.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
I am trained in MBSR, a technique used to reduce stress, negative feelings and increase your internal peace and calm through meditation and mindful awareness practices.
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing is an evidence based treatment used to reduce the negative impacts of past traumas that are held consciously and unconsciously in our bodies, memories, thoughts and sensations. I weave EMDR into our talk therapy sessions as we both see best fit.
Trauma Informed
I am aware that we hold past experiences from Big ‘T’ traumas (blatant abusive experiences, traumatic incidents to Little ‘t’ traumas (home based misattunements from our family of origin or other important figures in our lives) The result of trauma is dissociation, fragmentation and disconnection. I work to create safety in the therapeutic environment, in our relationship and guide you to create a safer internal world for yourself.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Often things we are unaware of hold us back from strong bonding relationships.  Our work in therapy will incorporate understanding how you protect yourself from vulnerability and become aware of underlying beliefs, feelings and thoughts.

Therapy Intensives for Couples and Individuals
