Treatment Approach
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
Approach Description: I start with a person-centered approach, getting to know you and meeting you in your world to understand your experience. Then, I add in EMDR therapy to help shift traumatic memories or stuck negative beliefs about yourself, parts work, centering practices, a somatic (body-based) awareness, a systems perspective, and/or an attachment lens. What we do in session is decided together ~ you know what works for you best!

I provide individual counseling to adults of all ages (18+) and to some gender expansive teens. I celebrate all queer, trans, gender expansive, plural, and neurodivergent experiences, and I am poly/ethical non-monogamy-affirming and anti-racist. I know the search for a counselor can feel exhausting and confusing because I have been there myself. Please reach out if you have any questions! I am happy to schedule a free consultation call to further explore if we could be a good fit.
