My Approach to Therapy

I offer a compassionate and empathetic space where you can share your story without judgment. I am eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) certified, and ready to help you heal from and process your trauma. Beyond that, you can expect me to listen fully, be present, and ask questions until I understand you. If you are feeling stuck in your relationship or like your partner never seems to understand what you’re trying to tell them, see me, and I’ll help you see each other. What is often labelled as a communication issue usually goes a little deeper, and it helps to have a trained outsider take a look at your relationship with you. I’m here to help! Therapy with me is integrative and holistic. I consider all aspects of being (body, mind, emotional, and spiritual) during sessions, depending on your needs. During couples therapy, I utilize the Gottman Method, as well as the Enneagram, to help you and your partner better understand each other and find a healthier path forward. My specialties are couples work, anger, and trauma. If you come to me for individual therapy, we will float between treatment modalities as needed. Typical modalities I use are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), internal family systems (IFS), person-centred, systemic, and solution-focused. Whatever we are doing or working on, it is always trauma-informed, and I incorporate somatic awareness.
