Accepting new clients!
Works well with:
Adults who are open to exploring their present and their past. I work with individuals who are reconciling with trauma and navigating OCD, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I enjoy working with the BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ and Older Adult populations.
Approach:
I use person-centered and relational practices to help foster safety for clients. One of my primary focuses as a clinician is helping clients identify and express emotions in safe and healthy ways and help clients work through the discomfort they experience when navigating difficult emotions. I believe emotions are simply messengers, we just have to learn to listen. I also do inner child work with clients. I believe mending our childhood wounds can have profound effects on our present experiences and relationships.
My therapeutic practice is rooted in interpersonal and relational modalities to identify, express and challenge behaviors and held beliefs. I utilize the following modalities: Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and Gottman Method.
I accept BCBS and Selecthealth insurance plans.
Accepting new clients!
Works well with:
2SLGBTQIA+ and/or BIPOC identities as well as trauma, sexuality, maternal mental health, anxiety, and/or depression.
Approach:
Person-centered therapy allows people to lead their own journey. Somatic Therapy allows people to center their focus on their body to guide their healing. Strengths-based allows for people to notice their strengths when they can easily get overlooked.
Accepting new clients!
Works well with: adult clients who want to know themselves more intimately. My training has supported those navigating trauma, attachment wounds, and/or those who find difficulty in relationships. As an immigrant and Spanish speaker, I also really enjoy working with the Latinx and immigrant communities.
Approach:
I am trained in EMDR. I find EMDR helpful in creating and processing trauma narratives and lowering the intensity of the felt-experience.
Somatic Therapy - There is so much wisdom held in the body and somatic practices helps us tap into that. I find it helpful for processing, regulating the central nervous system, and generating new insight that can be difficult to tap into through traditional talk therapy.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) - Invites us to examine different aspects of the self, including their roles and functions. IFS can help generate insight through a lens that invites curiosity, compassion, and honors parts of self (or behavior) for their attempts at survival.
Accepting new couples!
Works well with:
Couples who love each other but don't know how to stop hurting each other.
Approach:
I see couples as a system, and teach partners how to build expertise and caretaking capacity to make partnership a safe, rewarding experience. My level 2 training in PsychoBiological Approach to Couple's Therapy (PACT) underpins and guides this approach.
I use my training in EMDR, IFS, and Somatic approaches that help partners process trauma to live (and love!) in the empowered present.
