Integrative Perspectives Counseling and Consulting PC is a psychotherapy practice specializing in anxiety, obsessive thinking, and reproductive and attachment-related trauma, including infertility, pregnancy loss, and the transition to pregnancy and parenthood. We provide trauma-informed, nervous-system-based care—integrating EMDR, attachment work, parts work, and polyvagal theory—to help clients feel safer in their bodies, steadier in their minds, and more connected in their lives and relationships.
Consultation and Supervision for Therapists
Therapists spend so much of their time holding space for other people.
Sometimes there isn't much space left to wonder about what is happening inside themselves.
I enjoy working with therapists who want a place where they don't have to be the therapist.
You don't have to arrive with a perfectly articulated problem. You can bring the case you're stuck on, the relationship that keeps getting under your skin, the session you can't stop thinking about, or the part of yourself that seems to show up differently in the therapy room than anywhere else.
I am particularly interested in the places where clinical work and our own lives intersect.
The client who evokes something you can't quite name.
The couple whose dynamic you understand intellectually but can't seem to shift.
The moment you realize you're working harder than your client.
The urge to rescue, fix, explain, push, withdraw, or get it "right."
The uncertainty about whether to intervene or simply stay curious.
These moments aren't necessarily evidence that you're doing therapy badly.
Sometimes they're information.
I like thinking alongside therapists.
My approach is relational, developmental, and integrative. I draw from attachment, Emotionally Focused Therapy, parts work, EMDR, ACT, Polyvagal Theory, and other frameworks, but I don't believe the goal is to become better at applying a model.
I'm much more interested in helping you understand what is happening in the room.
How is this client organizing their experience?
What are you noticing?
What are you not noticing?
Where is the client actually able to go?
Where might you be moving faster than their system can follow?
What is your own system doing in response?
Sometimes we need a formulation.
Sometimes we need to slow down enough to realize the formulation isn't quite right.
Sometimes you need someone to help you see the pattern you've been circling for six sessions.
And sometimes you simply need somewhere to say:
"I have no idea what is happening with this client."
And have someone respond:
"Okay. Let's figure it out."
I don't want to take away your clinical instincts.
I want to help you trust them more.
That may mean developing a more nuanced formulation, finding the right moment to intervene, understanding why a particular client pulls you toward overfunctioning, or recognizing when your own need to make something happen is getting in the way of the work.
It may also mean becoming more comfortable with not knowing.
Because good therapy isn't always about having the right interpretation.
Sometimes it is about being curious enough to discover something you couldn't have known beforehand.
You get to bring your whole clinical mind into the room and also have a place where someone is curious about you.
