My services include individual therapy for adults, children and adolescents and parenting support. I provide clinical consultation and supervision to therapists and art therapists working toward licensure and board credentials. Several times a year I offer art therapy and mindfulness groups for kids and adults.
I have an integrative approach to therapy, drawing on multiple modalities to meet your unique needs and goals.
EMDR – EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a psychotherapy approach empirically researched and found effective in the resolution of trauma in adults and children.
Art Therapy – The use of art-making in therapy can be a tangible and concrete way to see clearly what is happening inside of us, like a mirror reflecting internal core beliefs, thoughts and feelings otherwise difficult to access.
Parent Coaching – Parenting is the hardest job I know! Parent coaching helps you to respond more effectively to your child during a challenging moment while also inviting awareness of your own emotional reactions as a parent. I use a brain-based approach to understanding children’s behavior as well our own behavior as parents.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is an approach to psychotherapy that is based on the model that our thoughts directly impact our feelings and our perceptions of a situation. If we are able to harness control over the ways our mind distorts our thinking we can free ourselves from the distressing thought and actually feel better.
Person-Centered Therapy – Person-Centered Therapy is an approach to therapy that regards each individual as inherently whole and healthy. Every person contains the necessary inner-resources to live a full and enriching life. As a therapist I provide a warm, nurturing and trusting environment for you to be able to access and uncover the wisdom that already exists within.
Body-Centered Mindfulness-Based Therapy – Mindfulness-based therapy invites awareness of the present moment without judgment. This means that our focus moves from thoughts created by the mind to the moment-to-moment felt experience of the body. Body-centered Mindfulness exercises aim to cultivate acceptance of whatever exists in the moment regardless of our judgment of an experience as good or bad and continually brings our awareness back to the wisdom of our body.
