Services Provided 

I provide psychotherapy services to children (ages 8 and up), adolescents, and adults. My style is non-directive, engaging, and collaborative, and my presence is warm, nurturing, and compassionate. I will work collaboratively with you to identify goals for therapy, and will provide attuned care, guidance, and support as you work through the issues and challenges that bring you to therapy. 

​

In my work with children, I utilize IFS informed child-centered play therapy, as children process, communicate, problem solve, and learn new skills through play. I also integrate other modalities as developmentally appropriate, including sandtray therapy, somatic techniques, psychoeducation, and bibliotherapy. Throughout the course of play therapy, I provide parent guidance and support, and work in tandem with parents to explore ways to best support the child in their home, school, and social environment.  

​

The primary therapeutic model I utilize with adolescents and adults is internal family systems (IFS), integrated with other modalities and techniques, including sandtray therapy, somatic techniques, psychoeducation, and bibliotherapy. I also offer ketamine integration services for those receiving ketamine treatment.

Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT)

"CCPT utilizes play, the natural language of children, and therapeutic relationship to provide a safe, consistent therapeutic environment in which a child can experience full acceptance, empathy, and understanding from the counselor and process inner experiences and feelings through play and symbols." - https://cpt.unt.edu/about-play-therapy/child-centered-play-therapy​

 

​​Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)

“IFS is a transformative tool that conceives every human being as a system of protective and wounded inner parts led by a core Self...Self is in everyone. It can’t be damaged. It knows how to heal.” - https://ifs-institute.com/

 

IFS can be a profound catalyst for change and healing. Many of my clients report that IFS helps them to gain a deeper understanding of their inner world, brings more clarity to the issues that bring them to therapy, brings more harmony and balance, and increases self-love and self-compassion. To further expand and deepen my work as an IFS therapist, I participate in regular IFS therapy, consultation, and training. 

 

Sandtray Therapy

As with IFS, sandtray therapy can be a profound catalyst for change and healing, and can be especially helpful for those who feel stuck in the therapeutic process or who have difficulty putting their experiences into words. Further, while talk therapy can be helpful for some in processing trauma, oftentimes, other modalities are needed to get to the core of trauma. Trauma is often stored in the body as implicit memory, and because it’s outside of awareness, it can be easily triggered. The use of sand and various figures can help bring implicit material forward so that it can be brought to awareness for processing and integration, which is key for optimal healing. 

​

Ketamine Integration Services

​I offer ketamine integration services to individuals who are receiving ketamine treatment and are in need of a therapist who can help them prepare for and integrate ketamine experiences. I will work with you for as long as needed to ensure that your experiences are adequately integrated, as this is key for meaningful, long lasting change.
