Finding Hope and Healing

Reaching out to a therapist can be so hard. If you are reading this now, you have already taken a major step by recognizing that your emotional well-being is a priority. Even though no one of us can do it alone, it takes courage to seek support and begin to unearth your own story.

My approach is holistic and informed by the study of interpersonal neurobiology (IPNB) — a framework that investigates the relationship between the brain, body, and relationships. Weaving in IPNB and attachment science, I will work with you to explore how your relationships and experiences have informed the way your brain has developed and to identify unhealthy patterns that continue to show up in the present day.

The good new is, our brains are constantly rewiring themselves. All relationships can change the brain, especially those with our primary caregivers, romantic partners — and even with our therapist. We are all born for connection and attachment. As exquisitely wired beings, sometimes the paths we take to get these needs met as best as we can result in habits that no longer serve us. In therapy we explore the experience of the past to help make sense of the struggles of today.

I am trained in a range of modalities, including Cognitive Behavorial Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Mindfulness, and Ego State Therapy and will work with you to identify your goals and the best way to get there. I am also a Certified EMDR therapist, which is another treatment option we can always bring into our work together. I seek to be an empathic and engaged accountability partner in my therapeutic work. Sometimes this means holding the space you need to unpack what you are feeling and have been through. Other times, it may mean supporting you as you lean into the hard stuff and experience the discomfort that is often required by growth.

Whatever brings you here, together we can explore where you have been to better chart the course to how you want to be.
