Individual Therapy

My extensive training is in Trauma resolution - single incident and complex trauma. Single Incidents such as a car accident, assault, birth trauma, etc. My niche is working with Adults to address symptoms of complex trauma which may be experiences of neglect in childhood, experiencing dysfunction in the home as a child, seeing addiction in your household, etc. Childhood Relational Trauma often manifests as Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Substance Use. My training provides the lens that the mind and body are symbiotic, we need to work with both in order to achieve long lasting results. Your body keeps score of all your life experiences, it is also the same pathway toward healing. I also work with Birth Trauma - not only serving the mother but the birth families. Birth can be beautiful and it can also be an overwhelming experience leaving your nervous system in a dysregulated state as you also navigate your new role in parenthood. I’m here to help aid in restoration so connection and attunement come with ease: not only with your little one, but with yourself, and your family system.

EMDR Intensives
-
EMDR Intensives are such a beautiful theraputic tool to relieve symptoms quicker than seeing a therapist 1x weekly. Though EMDR intensives are best suited for people who have some stability present, feel they have good coping skills to manage overwhelm. EMDR Intensives are longer than what a typical weekly session session would be, anywhere from 3-6 hours or longer depending on the individuals needs and goals.
EMDR Intensives are a great option for individuals who might already be getting treatment with a therapist who may not be EMDR trained though would like to incorporate EMDR into their healing experience. Intensives are effective in processing a single incident event such as a car accident, assault, injury, etc. It is also effective with relational trauma, such as experiences of neglect as a child, parenting parents, unsafe environments, emotional and physical abuse, etc.

Therapy Approaches

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing
EMDR is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from painful past wounds that result in the symptoms we know to be PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, etc. EMDR therapy is an eight-phase treatment, and research shows that EMDR provides a reduction in symptoms much faster than traditional talk therapies. Intellectually you may know something to be true, but often the feeling inside doesn’t match. EMDR allows your felt sense to match what you know intellectually. Leading to a feeling of being more balanced.

Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing (SE™) is a body-oriented therapeutic model for healing trauma and other stress disorders. It is the life’s work of Dr. Peter A. Levine. SE provides the basic natural healing and core nervous system skills to reprocess the past and better navigate the future. It helps clients attune to what's happening in their bodies, slow down and pause fast energies, wake up and balance sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Learning to consciously titrate gives clients a boost in self-awareness, and confidence in their capacity to change and heal.

Post Induction Therapy
Post Induction Therapy also known as The Meadows Model, is a groundbreaking approach based on the pioneering work of Meadows Senior Fellow Pia Mellody. The model is an exploration of codependency and how a fracture that occurrs from trauma can lead to mental health or addiction issues. Being that I was a Meadows Primary Therapist, I subscribe to the same definition of trauma as Pia Mellody. She says trauma is “anything less than nurturing”. There are 5 core issues within the model, and explore how our inner child and inner teenager may be getting in the way of living the life we want to live.

Other Therapies
I am classically trained in EMDR, SE, and PIT. They are the primary therapies I utilize in sessions. Although those three therapies are my primary, I also integrate features of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM). IFS was developed my Richard Schwartz PhD and work with the many parts that make up who you are, exploring the roles and relationships between the parts. NARM was developed by Laurence Heller PhD, and this model explores the patterns of disconnection and strategies that deeply affect our identity, emotions, physiology, behavior and relationships.
