communication

Welcome! I provide a nurturing environment into which we bring our curiosity about you. My approach employs multiple tools so we can discover which ones feel right: traditional talk therapy, holistic body-based or somatic exploration, behavior-changing tasks, or depth psychology approaches such as dream work. For those in relationships, additional tools include broadening communication skills and clarifying interactional patterns. Finally, because past experiences feed into our social interactions, the inclusion of current trauma science can deepen our work together. I am trained in the Trauma Resiliency Model (CRM and TRM1) and practice mindfulness-based EMDR.
