Engaging Self

Likely you’ve experienced life and known relationships in ways that created patterns in your soul, deep wells in some places―protective moats in others.

In therapy, I create a safe space to engage the discordance that builds within us. We all create patterns to help ourselves keep moving through the world. We repeat similar relationships. Similar jobs. Similar paths. The problem though with walking one pattern over and over is eventually ruts form, and if you’ve ever hiked a worn trail or driven an old mountain road road, you know an unbalanced path is hard going.

Places of pain, remorse, or trauma can scar us in ways we don’t realize.

Through my training in trauma focused narrative therapy, I know what it takes to equip you in your journey towards wholeness, health & significance. One of the tools I use is something called EMDR, which you can read more about in the FAQ section below.  

My goal is to help provide space for you to enter into and engage your own story so you can find rest within it.  

If you have questions about how this can look, check out the FAQ section below or send me an email.

I would be happy to discuss how therapy can be an incredible catalyst for hope, clarity, and peace for those who are willing to put in effort to get there.

Change is possible. I would be honored to walk alongside you.

What kind of therapy do you do?

My approach to psychotherapy is primarily through lenses of Attachment, Narrative and Psychodynamic—which means I explore a person’s history, story, environment, family of origin, and how to bring harmony to the incongruent parts of self.

What is a session like?

They’re about 50 or 90 minutes of us talking, or not talking. They can look like focused sessions of EMDR or working through specific issues we’ve identified.

What is EMDR?

I also use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) as a tool with clients to move through and beyond stuck places (need another word for that).  EMDR is an empirically tested and interactive approach that is proven to accelerate treatment through a wide range of issues, such as anxiety and self-esteem to disturbing traumatic events related to the past and your present life condition.

Do you take insurance?

I do not, but I do provide something called a super bill that you can submit to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement.  

Does it mean I’m weird if I go to therapy?

Well, we’re all a little odd in our own ways. But I think some of those odd things have the potential to become the greatest things about us.
