Approaches and Tools

  • Attachment theory is another tool that I use in understanding how we attach to others in relationships and learning how to earn secure attachment with ourselves and others.

  • I believe in letting space exist where nothing is too much or not enough, but exactly what it is. A space to be accepted, to feel safe, worthy, and to experience peace.

  • Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) is a form of healing and a proven method that helps rewrite memories that carry negative thoughts and reprocess into new positive thoughts that bring life. Moving forward into what’s next after any type of life change that results in newness may need some direction. I love new seasons, but the unknown of what that new season may bring can seem overwhelming. Learning tools to help during transition can be beneficial in taking on new beginnings.

  • A tool I use for self-exploration is the Enneagram, a personality typology to illuminate our childhood motivations that help form our personality type.

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps identify parts that sometimes feel at odds within us. Saying “one part of me feels like this, while the other part feels like that” — that's what we call ‘parts work’. Working and knowing all the parts that come forward and need help.

  • There are many parts of growth and healing that we will all venture into within our lifetime; we can never outgrow who we are supposed to be. Experiencing healing from past trauma is what occurs in safe spaces. Trauma work is a form of uncovering the path to healing. There are a few forms of trauma: One we call" “big T” trauma, which are significant events that have occurred, the other is “small T” trauma, which are repetitive overwhelming events that continue to cause distress. We also may experience Complex Trauma, or a combination of the two.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect from my first session?
I will give a short introduction along with a few policies and procedures. I will ask questions about why you came in and what you’d like to accomplish. We might explore some background history, along with present-day concerns. We might explore if working together is the right fit. My goal is to find what fits you, that may not be me, and that's okay.

How often should I come in?
Typically this answer depends on the level of community and care that already exists, then the level of regulation from life’s hardships that currently exists. It might mean starting out every week then followed by every two weeks, then three. We will always work around financial availability and partnering with where you are.

Do you take my insurance?
Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, we can send you a superbill for possible reimbursement. However, we do not accept insurance at this time. Payment can be made by Cash, Check, American Express, Discover, Mastercard, Visa, and Health Savings Account.
