Individual Therapy

Individual counseling consists of 55-minute appointments, once- or twice-a-week. The first session is an intake interview that will cover the concerns bringing you in to therapy, as well as a broad overview of your life and experiences. Together, we will come up with your goals for counseling, and that will provide guidelines for our work together. Over time, your goals may change, and we can address that in the process.

My main modality for working with you is Internal Family Systems, which helps you to understand and heal the many parts of you that play a role in your concerns. This approach is supplemented with EMDR, to address traumatic memories and triggers, and attachment-focused therapy, to help you identify and understand your relational and emotional patterns.

Couples Therapy

Couples therapy is also offered as relationship counseling for romantic partners, including polycules and non-monogamous partners. Similar to individual therapy, couples therapy consists of 55-minute appointments, once- or twice-a-week. The first session will also be an intake interview that covers all concerns of beginning therapy, as well as a broad interview of the relationship between the participants. Together, we will come up with your goals for counseling, and that will provide guidelines for our work together. Over time, your goals may change, and we can address that in the process.

My main modality for working with you and your partner(s) is Intimacy From the Inside Out. This framework is based on Internal Family Systems and focuses on identifying and transforming the parts of each of you that drive the unhelpful relational patterns you are seeking to change. Part of the intake interview may include individual sessions to screen for obstacles that prevent safe and effective relationship therapy. I work with both monogamous and non-monogamous relationships (including polycules with 3 or more members), and I specialize in working with lesbian and queer neurodivergent couples with complex and attachment trauma.

Consultation / Training

I offer consultation to other therapists on the following topics:

  • Using Internal Family Systems with IPV survivors and plural populations

  • Working with queer/neurodivergent couples and polycules

  • Queer-, neurodiversity-, and plurality-affirming trauma and attachment therapy

  • Parentification and childhood emotional abuse/neglect in neurodivergent and queer populations

I can develop bepsoke trainings and workshops for your organization based on my areas of expertise. Please contact me for details. My rate for individual consultation is $175/hour and my rate for trainings varies based on the scope of the request. Consultation with me does NOT count for IFS certification.
