My therapeutic approach is informed by relational, psychodynamic, and feminist therapies as well as EMDR, ACT, and mindfulness techniques.  What that means is that I believe that relationships shape us, for both better and worse, and the relationship we'll create together in therapy is a crucial element of change.  I believe that our pasts are important, because they are often (consciously or unconsciously) calling the shots in our presents.  I believe in grey-- that our minds like to work in black and white, especially when stressed, but that the good and meaningful stuff in life hangs out in the grey parts.  So along those lines, I hold together both the mourning of the damage that trauma does as well as the belief in resilience and the strength of scars.
