Ways we work
Three ways to work with what happened
Most people start with conversation and add another way later, if they want to. All of them are one to one, with me, and by video if you are in Montana.
Trauma therapy
Talk therapy for adults carrying childhood trauma, paced so you stay steady. We begin with the present.

Questions about the ways we work
Which one should I start with?
Usually conversation. We'll talk about what you want and what feels possible, and you choose. You can add EMDR or body-based work later, or never.
Do I have to do EMDR?
No. It's one option among others, and I explain it before you decide.
Do you see couples or families?
No. I see adults one at a time. I can suggest colleagues for couples and family work.
Not sure where to start?
Write to me and say so. We'll sort it out together in the first session.
