Getting Started With Therapy Services

If you decide to start therapy with me, you will gain access to a secure client portal. I’ll provide intake forms where I’ll ask both general and specific information about you and your history. You are always in charge of how much and what you share with me, and the direction we’ll go in.

You and I will get to know each other and build a relationship that will be the foundation of our work. Together we’ll develop goals for outcomes in therapy, and we’ll regularly check in about those goals to make sure things are progressing.

Although all therapy is tailored to the individual needs and desires of the client, in general after working with me you can expect to experience

• a reduction in symptoms
• an increase in skills for managing distressing symptoms
• a deeper understanding of yourself and your life

I have spent more than three decades working with people who have experienced trauma, serious and persistent mental illness, anxiety, depression, and relational issues. In our sessions I may use interventions based on the following modalities or theories:

• Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Level 1
• Eye Movement Reprocessing Desensitization (EMDR)
• Polyvagal Theory/Nervous System Regulation
• Parts Work
• Attachment Theory

In addition to these modalities, I believe in client self-determination and a strengths-based approach to treatment, and I partner with you on your path to healing.
