Modalities
individualized treatment plans to fit your needs
I will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that will fit your needs. I am able to draw from a variety of modalities depending on how we decide to work together. I am very happy to discuss my approach with you during a free consultation call. While I am trained in a variety of modalities, I have found mindfulness, sensorimotor approaches, and IFS work well together as a holistic approach. The addition of psychedelic medicine may enhance or accelerate our work together, however, this approach is optional.
These are some of the services I offer:
SENSORIMOTOR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Have you tried talk therapy without seeing much progress? The source of pain and healing is often below the surface of talk. Trauma is not just stored in words and memories, it is also stored in feelings and sensations. SP allows us to go below the words. SP embraces patient-directed choice, a belief in your inner capacity to heal, a recognition that mind, body, and spirit are connected, and that healing takes place within a supportive relationship.
INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS
IFS is an approach to therapy in which we explore the many unique, creative, helpful, confusing, exasperating and wounded parts of ourselves. It recognizes that our internal worlds are complex and include parts of us that can be in conflict, critical of each other, and hold difficult memories, beliefs and feelings. In this approach, all parts are welcome, even the ones that cause difficulty. This is a compassionate approach that does not pathologize symptoms or behaviors. We seek to understand them. I love sharing this approach with clients. A peaceful co-existence with all of your parts is possible!
PSYCHEDELIC-ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY AND INTEGRATION, AND PROFESSIONAL CONSULTATION SERVICES
The use of psychedelics for healing has been happening in traditional communities and in “the underground” for generations. The benefits of their use are now being acknowledged more widely. Recent media coverage has led to a great deal of curiosity about these medicines and their healing potential. I work with both ketamine and psilocybin in my practice. I am trained to work with MDMA once it becomes legally available.
These medicines can open us up to new ways of perceiving ourselves and the world. Engaging in therapy during this treatment provides an opportunity to fully prepare and then translate what arises during the experience into real change in your day to day life. Because experiences may be challenging, careful preparation is essential. Knowledgeable and compassionate support allows for the trust needed to explore fully. Psychedelic medicines may offer pathways for deeper healing that go beyond traditional therapy and just managing symptoms. My approach is to collaborate with you to build a safe and comfortable “container” for what emerges.
Please reach out if you have interest in learning whether these approaches may be right for you.
EXPERIENTIAL: CANINE-ASSISTED, NATURE, MOVEMENT & MEDITATION
I enjoy experimenting with clients to find other modalities that engage the senses, expand awareness, and give a sense of grounding and resilience. Clients have at times found it helpful to incorporate movement, work with my therapy dog, or time in the garden as part of treatment. I am open to adding or exploring any of these options into our time togethe
Consultation and Rates
I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation in order to give you an opportunity to speak with me, ask questions, and decide if my practice may be a good fit for your needs.
My standard rate is $150 per session.
Insurance
I do not not accept private insurance at this time. However, some insurance providers will reimburse you for out-of-network therapy/behavioral health services. I am happy to provide you with a super-bill that you can take to your insurance company. Please check your out-of-network coverage in advance if you are interested in possible reimbursement.
