I believe in therapy as a collaborative process and will incorporate different styles and tools based on what you’re experiencing and what feels like a fit. In general, my framework is psychodynamic (drawing on the past to understand the present) and focuses on increasing insight and self-understanding, as well as resourcing in the moment.
I draw from my training and education in both biology and counseling to highlight the mind-body connection. This can be beneficial in working with somatic / bodily effects of trauma, physical symptoms and illnesses, STIs, and many of our other layered experiences that come with having bodies.
I utilize a combination of talk therapy, body-based practices, self-compassion/mindfulness, and EMDR.
