While an “ideal client” does not exist, it is important to speak to the matter of my orientation. I’ve a Progressive orientation. I claim no religion. I grew up the daughter of a Baptist minister & I know the damage such a culture can create. I respect & honor any religion that respects the rights of women. Women’s rights are human rights. I aim to be very clear in my communication & orientation so that no expectations are assumed.

My ideal client is one who is searching for a deeper understanding of themselves as well as their relationships with the meaningful people in their world. Understanding the complexities of interpersonal dynamics is key to having healthy relationships with oneself, as well as others. My goal as a therapist is to create an atmosphere in which it is comfortable to explore old wounds as well as current interpersonal dynamics. In this work, it is my hope that insight will replace confusion as we embark on the road to a healthy and fulfilling life.

In our first session we will discuss working together on-line. I use a combination of IFS (Internal Family Systems) and EMDR. IFS is an extraordinary therapy. In safe, gentle, respectful ways, IFS accesses and TRANSFORMS that which is the cause of your problems: your hidden and not-so-hidden fears, shame, anger, hurt… why you have negative thinking (I’m not good enough, things are not the way I want them to be), as well as the negative ways you may be acting (in anger, critical, impatient, abusing substances). I use a special on-line platform for EMDR which I am finding works well.

Do you want to deepen your sense of self and build stronger relationships? Are you working to recover from the impacts of personal trauma, or trying to interrupt generational and collective trauma patterns? Working on finding better ways to move through anxiety and depression, and strengthen your ability to navigate the state of the world while still finding joy, ease, love, belonging, and meaningful resistance to harmful systems? Feeling disconnected from one’s sense of self and body, from others, from community, can lead us to feel empty, aching and traumatized. Repairing connections can help create healing and a sense of safety.

I provide psychodynamic therapy to individuals (ages 14+) and couples. This type of therapy addresses the underlying causes and meanings of unwanted symptoms and dysfunctional patterns. It heals by bringing unconscious content to consciousness and by fostering deeper relationships with parts of ourselves we previously ignored, denied or even disdained. Psychodynamic therapy is often well suited for those who haven’t responded well to other types of therapy.

In our work together, we will identify some of your core relationship patterns and find their origins, often stemming from your childhood. I’ll help you become more aware of your individual thoughts, feelings, and underlying motives in your relationship so that you can learn to understand and take responsibility for the impacts of your behaviors on each other.
