Services
Individual counseling
Couch for one? Individual work includes exploring your natural temperament, addressing past shadows that darken the present (a little or a lot...you get a say), and addressing life roadblocks that have you stuck. I can do interpersonal "talk" therapy, as well as more specific technique-based therapy modalities.
relationship counseling
Relationships worth having are worth working for. I address relationship difficulties with a combination of reaching for deep connection and a pragmatic look at what can help the bigger picture. I am a big believer in working with your individual and relationship temperaments as they are rather than creating an expectation that you just be a different partner. I have training and experience in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples.
trauma treatment
Yes, I do the really hard stuff. From making sense of the really-old hard stuff to taking the fear out of the fresh-and-recent hard stuff, I can use several good techniques to help calm the challenges of living in a body and brain that has been wired for emergency survival. I have done trainings and have experience with in Lifespan Integration, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and other modalities.
neurodiversity-aligned
Not all treatments work the same for all people. If you experience the world differently due to adult autism, ADHD, or another non-typical neurotype, I am familiar with and have experience working with this broadly-unique brand of living in the world.
