CLIENT-CENTERED APPROACH:

I hold the belief that we are remarkable and unique beings with the capacity to

heal and grow. I believe that at the core of our existence, we have an authentic

self but that wounding shadows it. I see therapy as the opportunity to navigate

through this terrain with the hope of reconnecting to Self and living authentically.

My work always starts with the individual or the couple. I do not have a one-size-

fits-all approach. I move towards my clients with curiosity and compassion so that

together we can unravel the ways in which healing is possible. I am interested in

the ways in which my clients connect with their present experience and invite that

knowledge to guide us toward the memories, beliefs and patterns that are no

longer serving them so that they can learn new, healthier ways of being.

THEORETICAL ORIENTATION:

I approach therapy with an integrative, experiential framework. Depending on my

client’s needs, I utilize various methodologies, including AEDP and the triangle of

change, Hakomi and the principles of Mindfulness, Interpersonal Neurobiology,

Somatic Experiencing, Attachment/SIMBS theory, Non-violent Communication,

Psychodynamic theory, Relational Theory, Internal Family Systems principles,

Trauma Informed practices, Transpersonal Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

(CBT), and Gestalt.

I am currently a Level 1 AEDP therapist and actively working on attaining my

complete AEDP certification. Additionally, I completed Hakomi Mindful Somatic

Psychotherapy, Module 1, META Primary Attachment Psychotherapy, and the

first of a two-part EMDR training.
