approaches
I use two primary approaches to help you tackle the struggles that keep you weighed down. These methods are experiential in nature, meaning we do more than talk about what is going on. We will tap into your intuition, body, movement, and creativity so we engage every part of who you are.
EMDR
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a therapy developed by Francine Shapiro that works to reduce significant distress. Through a non-invasive method, it taps into your brain and nervous system’s natural healing process, calming intrusive images, thoughts, emotions, and body sensations.
GESTALT
Gestalt therapy focuses on unhealed wounds, impositions, limiting habits, and labels that make life feel claustrophobic. Through the use of body awareness, visualization, art, and other experiential opportunities, the whole person is used in the healing process. This promotes understanding, increases flexibility, and improves the ability to respond in meaningful ways.

LGBTQ+
Sexual orientation, gender identity and expression are rich opportunities to introspect and forge new directions. With therapy, you shed predetermined boxes to make room for who you are meant to be.
