My Methods and Training:
Individual Therapy:
My approach to individual therapy is rooted in the belief that healing and growth begin with a strong therapeutic relationship. I use a blend of therapeutic methods tailored to each client’s needs, including:
Attachment Work: Understanding how early relationships influence your current patterns, helping you create healthier connections and a deeper sense of security.
Internal Family Systems (IFS): Exploring the parts of you that hold pain, fear, or shame, and working to integrate them into a more harmonious whole.
Psychodynamic Therapy: Gently uncovering and processing unconscious patterns that may be shaping your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Non-Directive Approach: Allowing the therapy space to be led by your unique needs and inner wisdom.
Trauma-Informed Care: Ensuring a safe and supportive environment that respects your experiences and honors your resilience.
Feminist Therapy: Highlighting the ways that societal systems impact your lived experience and empowering you to reclaim your voice and agency.
I believe in walking the path I invite my clients to walk. I’ve done significant therapy myself, which has deepened my empathy, understanding, and ability to guide others through their own healing journeys.
Couples Therapy:
For couples, I draw heavily from two transformative approaches: The Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
The Gottman Method
The Gottman Method is a research-based approach that focuses on:
Building a deeper emotional connection.
Managing conflict with respect and understanding.
Creating shared meaning and strengthening friendship and intimacy.
I guide couples through practical tools and exercises to improve communication, rebuild trust, and foster long-term connection. Whether you’re navigating recurring conflicts or wanting to deepen your relationship, the Gottman Method provides a clear path to thriving together.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT centers on identifying and transforming negative interaction patterns while creating a secure emotional bond. Through EFT, couples:
Learn to recognize and share their deepest feelings and needs.
Build trust and emotional safety.
Reconnect in ways that create lasting change.
By combining these methods with attachment work and a trauma-informed lens, I help couples address the underlying dynamics that may be keeping them stuck.
Psychedelic Therapy:
Psychedelic therapy offers a profound opportunity for healing and transformation. My approach is rooted in ceremony, respecting the sacred and therapeutic potential of these experiences.
I am part of the inaugural cohort of facilitators licensed by DORA, trained in creating safe and supportive spaces for psychedelic journeys. My training emphasizes preparation, integration, and the ethical, responsible use of these tools.
What to Expect:
Preparation: We’ll work together to set clear intentions and create a foundation of trust.
Ceremony: The sessions are held in a ceremonial context, providing structure and reverence for the experience.
Integration: After the journey, we’ll process insights and emotions, ensuring they become meaningful parts of your life.
I combine my therapeutic expertise with a deep respect for the transformative nature of psychedelic experiences, guiding clients through a process that honors their unique path to healing.
Your journey is unique, and my role is to meet you where you are with empathy, knowledge, and support. Together, we’ll create a space for healing, growth, and transformation—whether through individual therapy, couples therapy, or the ceremonial work of psychedelics.
