My Approach to Helping
I work from a relational stance using an attachment and trauma-informed framework, along with other modalities such as Transactional Analysis, Emotion Focused Therapy, EMDR, Focusing, and have an Advanced Certificate in Adult Attachment.
My work as a therapist is experiential, collaborative, and client-centered and that means finding the best therapeutic approach to help you navigate current challenges and work toward the change you desire to see in your life. I describe my practice as integrative and flexible, combining elements shown to be effective, and tailored to the uniqueness of each person I work with. Creativity often brings vitality to the therapeutic process, so I often use Therapeutic Photography and Therapeutic Writing in my sessions with clients interested in these modalities.
Through years of training and professional development and through personal experience I have developed a therapeutic approach and style that reflects what I most value in the work that I do with my clients – collaboration and a deep sense of connectedness, the most important elements of the therapeutic relationship.
