adults
I specialize in treating adults with ADHD, complex PTSD/ other relational traumas, post-traumatic symptoms (single or multiple incidents), and dissociative symptoms/ experiences.
Adults who work well with me tend to want to do the “deep” work. From an attachment-based perspective, we’ll do the hard work to help you shift stuck patterns. You and I will wade into the stuff you learned your family (you know what I’m talking about) you feel like you just can’t shake. We’ll figure out what works for you, whether that be EMDR, sand tray, parts-work, biofeedback, or good ol’ fashioned talk therapy.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desentization Reprocessing therapy is a multi-step heavy-duty method of getting “unstuck” from patterns and unhelpful cycles in your life by desensitizing trauma memories using eye movement (or other types of bilateral stimulation).
But here’s something cool: EMDR doesn’t just work as a trauma treatment, there’s a growing body of research showing its efficacy for treating generalized anxiety, depression, OCD, phobias, performance-related issues, and even chronic pain.
As an EMDRIA certified therapist and EMDRIA Consultant in Training I provide services for both youth and adults. I have additional EMDR training in treating youth and adults with dissociative experiences and complex PTSD. I also offer EMDR intensives for those seeking accelerated treatment options.
teens & pre-teens
Callin’ all you young folk’ with your hip baggy pants and new-fangled slang.
“I’m not a regular therapist. I’m a cool therapist.” (bonus points if you get that reference) Ok, I may not be that cool, but I will talk straight with you and I will be kind. I know that sitting across from someone and staring into their eyeballs for 45 minutes can be a wee bit uncomfortable, so in my office you’ll find options to craft, draw, paint, fidget, pet animals, rummage through the office snack bucket, and even swing in an egg chair while we talk.
I’ll also probably ask you how TikTok works a few (thousand) times, but I do really want to see the VHS tape you’re showing me.
play therapy
For ages 2-10+. Epic toys, epic growth.
Why play therapy? Adults use words to communicate, kids use toys. Instead of having your 3-year-old fill out a sheet about their “cognitive distortions,” we’re going to play. It allows for a child to explore and gain mastery of their experiences in a safely contained and non-judgmental space, using the the language of play to gain mastery over their difficult experiences. Though it varies for every child, I generally approach therapy with children as a collaboration between myself and the caregivers. I believe in developing caregivers into “co-therapists,” so that you can feel confident in facilitating healing for your child.
Play therapy is the evidenced based, gold-star standard of child therapy. Let’s play.
animal therapy
Does this even need an explanation???
It’s therapy. With a dog and a fluffy bunny. Animals are good for our souls. Science agrees.
