Individual Psychotherapy

TRAUMA

DEPRESSION

ANXIETY

I work with individual clients suffering from post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues. Individual psychotherapy can be either long or short term, and include multiple modalities such as psychodynamic (or insight-oriented, “talk”) psychotherapy, somatic or body-centered approaches, and when appropriate, trauma-focused techniques to help clients when they encounter “stuck” parts of their process. My approach is to focus on meeting the client’s goals and coming up with concrete ways to help clients improve their lived experience.

I have specialized training in several forms of trauma therapy including EMDR. EMDR is a form of somatic, evidence-based trauma therapy that uses bilateral stimulation on the body to rapidly process past traumas and transform their impact on your life today. I also use Internal Family Systems Therapy-informed approach, highly effective type of therapy that helps to create inner alignment between our conflicting inner “parts.”

Relationship Therapy

Sex Therapy 

I enjoy working with couples and polycules in therapy to facilitate better communication, better sex, and greater ease in relationships. I use techniques from the Emotionally Focused and Imago models to assist clients with having the relationships they want. 

I have also received specialized advanced training and have taught the practice of Sex Therapy at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy. Sex Therapy is both insight-oriented and behavioral. It can help clients heal from sexual trauma, improve their relationship with their bodies, and work through sexual issues such as erectile dysfunction, painful sex, or difficulty with orgasm to name a few. My sex therapy approach values all bodies, all sexual and gender identities. I am also kink-knowledgeable and affirming!

Psychedelic Integration Therapy or Coaching

Ketamine-Assisted Therapy

I have specialized expertise in assisting clients in processing and integrating Transpersonal Experiences that occur through meditation, shamanic and entheogenic work. My practice focuses on helping clients to understand their psychedelic experiences and to use this insight to transform their lives and daily practices.  I am also skilled at assisting clients after difficult or traumatic experiences with psychedelics including clients who have accessed memories of previous abuse.

I have also had success with clients using non-medicine shamanic techniques such as shamanic journeying, transpersonal EMDR, and other core shamanic techniques to enhance their progress and experience in therapy.

I am part of the Ketamine-Assisted Therapy team at the Woodstock Therapy Center where I provide therapeutic support to clients undergoing treatment with ketamine. This groundbreaking treatment is suitable for clients with certain types of depression or looking to deepen transpersonal work in therapy.
