I specialize in working with women, couples, substance abuse and trauma. I do more then just listen. I facilitate tapping into innate, deep wisdom as a means of supporting your own growth and unfolding. I work with you to integrate all aspects of your being- your mind, body, emotional and spiritual existence. I will walk next to you and provide the map, while we explore the terrain of your existence. I am committed to emotional safety and being a supportive, non-judging other who can witness, affirm and guide exploration. I work with clients in an experiential way, facilitating deep contact with experiences both past and present in moment-to-moment processing. 

 

Theoretical orientations that inform my practice:

Attachment Focused- EMDR (AF-EMDR),

Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP),

Accelerate Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy for Couples (AEDPfC), 

Transformative Couples Therapy (TCT)
