While I offer these approaches as frames of reference, I prioritize creativity and collaboration in our work. When introducing theories to clients, I do so with consent and contextualization for how these theories came to be.

Harm reduction: Whether you are navigating an eating disorder, self-harm, or any form of coping that is no longer serving you, we’ll begin by compassionately understanding the purpose behind the behavior. From there, we’ll get creative, finding new ways for you to meet your emotional needs, connect with supportive community, and decrease shame.

Psychodynamic / relational therapy: In this work, we focus on your experience in the here-and-now. We’ll notice together how you feel in therapy and explore how that may reflect other relationships in your life, with the goal of identifying more sustainable ways to navigate your relationships.

Internal Family Systems: Sometimes called parts work, the goal of IFS is to help you find a greater sense of curiosity and compassion for all parts of yourself. We’ll identify, map out, and explore the roles of these parts, and together learn what they need to heal.

Inference-based cognitive behavioral therapy: I-CBT is an evidence-based treatment for OCD that does not require exposures. In I-CBT, we’ll work to understand the obsessional doubts at the heart of your OCD, with the goal of rebuilding your sense of self-trust. I can offer I-CBT as part of our regular work, or as supplemental support if you have a therapist & need additional OCD treatment.
