Counseling &  Psychotherapy

I provide a person-centered approach to help individuals learn about themselves in different cultural contexts including how past experiences or traumas are impacting their life. Individuals deserve to sit with a counselor who is not merely accepting, but more importantly, non-judgmental. I use a holistic approach to therapy and believe that a person’s well-being involves their brain, body, and mind. Therapy should support all three of those areas in order to help clients find balance and increased understanding of the self. When working with individuals, my first goal is to create a safe therapeutic relationship, in which clients feel respected and supported.

I am trained in Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR Therapy and utilize an integrative approach and use therapies that fit each client individually. I rely heavily on the framework of Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) Theory, but also utilize Client-centered Therapy, Behavioral and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies, Feminist Theory, and Constructivist Theory. In certain therapeutic relationships, I rely on the framework of Theory of Mind integrated with the EMDR approach.
