Trauma Informed therapy

Psychotherapy involves a mutual commitment to work toward better understanding and resolution of the issues or problems in your life. The goal is for therapy to lead to positive change, which can ultimately lead to greater happiness and satisfaction, a lessening of stress, better ability to cope with problems, improved relationships, and deeper meaning and balance. I work with you collaboratively to set goals and progress towards making and sustaining the changes that you would like to see in your life.

My therapeutic orientation is best described as “integrative,” drawing strongly on relational, feminist, internal family systems (or parts work) solution-focused, and mindfulness therapy modalities, as well as others. I enjoy teaching clients about neuroscience and psychotherapeutic modalities so that you understand and can consent to interventions. This also means that I use a broad array of evidence-based techniques in therapy, and prefer to collaborate with clients on treatment. You and I will discuss the proposed course of treatment that best suits your needs. If appropriate, I may make changes as we learn what works for you, and may also make referrals to other providers; your input into these decisions is crucial for the success of our work.
