Client-focused care for mental wellness
Individual therapy
My approach integrates attachment theory and family systems perspectives to explore how our upbringing, early relationships, and societal structures shape our complex identities as individuals, couples, and families. Using an intuitive, client-centered approach backed by clinical experience, I help you uncover patterns of unhelpful beliefs, underlying emotions, and relational dynamics.
With a balance of gentleness and firmness, I guide you towards transformative conversations that address the root causes of your concerns through experiential talk therapy. I combine big-picture insights with practical problem-solving techniques, offering concrete steps towards positive change. By integrating current research, humor, and metaphors, our collaborative work aims to identify your core needs and develop practical ways to live more authentically.
Couples therapy
To help couples rekindle their emotional and physical bonds, I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy ® (EFT) for marriage and relationships lost in distress. The core focus of couples therapy with me is the healing power of love and secure attachment, encouraging partners to "hold each other tight" both literally and figuratively.
By guiding couples to express their deeper vulnerabilities and longings for connection, EFT helps partners break through anger and alienation to rediscover tenderness and mutual support.
This process not only resolves current conflicts but equips couples with the emotional responsiveness and resilience needed to face future challenges together, ultimately fostering a more intimate, satisfying, and enduring relationship.
Eating disorder recovery
By blending powerful tools like EMDR® therapy and the HAES® approach with other effective techniques, we'll gently unravel the experiences that might have tangled up your relationship with food, giving them the attention they need to heal.
As we chat and work through things, we'll be like editors, revising the story your mind tells about you and your eating habits. Don't be surprised if you start discovering new, healthier ways to handle life's ups and downs along the way – it's all part of the process!
I'm here to help you nurture a kinder relationship with food, your amazing body, and your wonderful self. The path might have some bumps, but remember, you're not walking it alone. I'll be right beside you, cheering you on and offering support at every turn.
EMDR® therapy
My EMDR therapy approach, which incorporates principles from attachment theory, offers a comprehensive and deeply transformative healing experience.
This integrated approach helps clients not only process distressing memories but also understand and reshape their attachment styles, leading to more secure and fulfilling relationships. The bilateral stimulation used in EMDR facilitates rapid processing of traumatic material, while our focus on attachment allows us to explore how early relational experiences have shaped current interpersonal dynamics and self-perception.
The combination of EMDR and attachment-focused work frequently results in more profound and sustainable changes, as it addresses both symptom reduction and the underlying relational patterns that may have contributed to the client's distress.
Clinical supervision
I provide supervision with a competency-based approach, tailored to elevate your clinical practice. We begin with a comprehensive assessment of your current clinical skills, collaboratively crafting goals that align with your professional aspirations. Through customized learning plans, skill-focused sessions, and practical application, you'll see tangible growth in your abilities.
Our supervision covers a broad spectrum of essential competencies, from evidence-based strategies and cultural competence to ethical decision-making and self-assessment skills. This holistic approach ensures that your clinical practice reaches new heights of effectiveness and proficiency.
Remember, your growth directly benefits your clients. By engaging in this targeted supervisory process, you're not just enhancing your skills – you're taking concrete steps towards becoming the therapist you've always aspired to be.
