Modalities
-
Integrative therapy goes beyond one-size-fits-all care, addressing patterns across your mind, body, relationships, and history to create meaningful, lasting change.
Drawing from depth-oriented and evidence-based approaches—including EMDR—it supports both insight and real shifts in how you experience your day-to-day life.
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured therapy that helps you process and release the emotional weight of distressing memories, so they feel less overwhelming and no longer hold the same impact on your day-to-day life.
EMDR intensives give you extended, focused time for deeper healing. Many people find this format feels more supportive and regulating than traditional hourly sessions, allowing trust to build and the work to unfold at a more natural pace. In a single intensive, you can often move through as much—or more—than several shorter sessions combined.

I’m certified in trauma-informed yoga and will be bringing a more intentional focus to this aspect of my work soon.
Integrative Holistic Therapy
Integrative therapy is for individuals who know they need more than a one-size-fits-all approach. You might already have insight into your patterns, but still feel stuck in them—or notice that what you’re dealing with lives not just in your thoughts, but in your body, your relationships, and your history.
This approach allows us to work across those layers, rather than focusing on just one. It’s flexible, responsive, and designed to support real, lasting change—so you’re not just understanding yourself better, but experiencing things differently in your day-to-day life.
My work is integrative, grounded in psychodynamic, humanistic, and evidence-based approaches. I draw from attachment-focused psychodynamic therapy, Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and the Trauma Resiliency Model, adapting the work to each person.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) offers a different way of working through difficult experiences—one that doesn’t rely only on talking, but helps your system process what’s been stuck. Over time, this can create more ease, clarity, and a sense of relief.
EMDR therapy is based on the understanding that your mind has a natural ability to heal from psychological wounds, much like your body does physically. Think of it less like a visible injury and more like a system that’s meant to keep things flowing—when something overwhelming happens, it can interrupt that flow, leaving parts of the experience stuck and unresolved. This is often what keeps distress feeling present long after the event has passed.
EMDR works by helping your brain restart and complete that natural processing. As those stuck pieces begin to move again, the intensity around them softens, and the experience becomes something you can hold with more ease rather than something that continues to overwhelm you.
Through structured, evidence-based protocols, EMDR supports your brain in doing what it’s already wired to do—process, integrate, and heal.
EMDR Intensives
I offer EMDR intensives—extended sessions designed to support deeper, more efficient processing.
For many people, this format feels more supportive, especially when they’re ready to focus on something specific or want to move through it more fully. It’s a more immersive experience, while still staying grounded, collaborative, and attuned to your needs throughout the process.
EMDR intensives offer a more concentrated approach to healing, allowing meaningful progress to happen over a shorter period of time rather than unfolding slowly across months of weekly sessions.
While the upfront investment can feel higher, many people find that needing fewer total sessions can make it more efficient overall. This format can also be especially helpful for those with full schedules, limited availability, or who are traveling to work with a specific clinician, as it creates the opportunity to engage deeply in the work without the need for ongoing weekly appointments.
EMDR intensive includes a 90-minute intake session to identify targets for processing.
Consists of three 3-hour sessions of resourcing, processing, and integration.
Trauma-Informed Yoga (TIY)
This work creates a space where you can begin to reconnect with yourself in a way that doesn’t rely on having the “right” words. Instead of trying to explain your experience, your body is invited into the process—gently uncovering what’s been held there and allowing healing to unfold from the inside out.
Over time, people often notice feeling more steady, more connected to their own sense of strength, and more able to speak up for themselves in relationships. There can be a softening of anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms, along with a growing sense of self-trust, confidence, and compassion. Just as importantly, it can remind you that you’re not alone—offering a sense of connection, both within yourself and with others, that many people have been longing for.
I will be offering Trauma-Informed Yoga groups in the future. In the meantime, feel free to reach out if you’re interested in therapy that incorporates this approach.
