Therapeutic Approach
Therapy is where we’ll be curious about you; there is no judgment about your past, your experiences, or your feelings. My therapeutic foundation is in trauma and Attachment Theory, where we look at patterns in relationships and experiences; how they may affect you and how you perceive things in the present.
I provide EMDR Psychotherapy, and I tailor treatment to each person and their unique needs and concerns. My approach also integrates relational, psychodynamic and trauma-focused theories and interventions. I am also a YTT 200-hour certified yoga instructor, which informs my approach. It can be useful to examine somatic experiences and experiment with mindfulness skills to help guide our work. I provide therapy from an anti-racist and social justice orientation, as it’s important to understand the environments we live in and how they impact us.
Work and experience
I earned my Bachelors degree from the University of Wisconsin - Madison and completed my clinical graduate program at NYU. I completed a practicum in trauma-focused work and am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I have been working in therapy and counseling for over 15 years and have experience working with clients ranging from young children to older adults; with individuals, families and groups.
I have consulted for New York City on clinical child and family issues and services. I have years of experience providing supervision to individual clinical providers, as well as clinical consulting teams.
