Individual Therapy

Pretty much everyone would benefit from some one-on-one therapeutic work. You cannot outsource your own healing, and you come into therapy when you know you have a piece of work you need to do on yourself. I will help you through this, to reduce your symptoms and get you free. My approach is active. I am really going to get into it with you, rolling up my sleeves to get to the core of the matter, so you are not left there alone. I am not one of those therapists who are just going to smile and nod. I will offer experientials, usually of a metaphoric or creative nature, to help us learn more about what is happening internally, and bring it out into the external world so we can sort it out, together. I will gently guide you to your own insights, so you can own all the parts of your life equally.

 
 

Trauma-Informed Therapy

When the brain experiences trauma, often it gets stuck at the point of impact, and leaves the person feeling like it’s still happening all the time. This is true for single incident traumas, like accidents, or complex traumas, like abuse. I use Attachment Based EMDR to help you get freedom from the disturbance the trauma has caused. After treatment, you will be able to recognize that those things happened to you, but they are in the past now, and though they are sad, you don’t have to be overwhelmed with emotion every time you think about them. It’s a chance to re-write your story, with new meanings, that emphasize your strength and resilience. Call me to hear more about what this entails.

 

Consultation

 

With over two decades of experience in social services and mental health, I have a lot of expertise to share. I offer consultation to therapists who would like to deepen their work and connect better to their clients. I love helping therapists work through challenging cases and grow as a clinician. Ultimately, this work is reciprocal, and with some guidance, it can be a source of joy and meaning in your life. Please contact me for more information about consultation and/or supervision.
