My Ideal Client

My clients are often interested in growing their awareness of perceived boundaries in their lives, and want to understand how past experiences have impacted their sense of self. I have supported clients to understand the roots of anxiety or depression, and to connect to a deeper sense of authenticity in the daily, and in relationships. Our work together might focus on how the society and culture you grew up in has impacted your mental health, or impacted your ability to be your full self.

My Background and Approach

I draw from psychodynamic, relational, trauma-informed, and somatic perspectives. My intention is to listen deeply and be truly present, and I see therapy as a collaborative process. I seek to be an ally to the people I work with, in awakening the parts that have been silenced, and to hear and understand their stories. I have eight years of experience working in community mental health and hospice settings, and am committed to inclusion and social justice. Some modalities I use are: Internal Family Systems, Emotion Focused Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and Meditation and Mindfulness.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a cis, white female, I strive to more fully understand the power and privilege in my gender and my race. I'm working towards building my awareness of how racism, sexism, white privilege, heterosexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, ageism, ability, body size and social class has impacted myself and my communities. I seek to make space for everyone and to honor their individual stories. I love spending time in old forests, I enjoy growing a garden, cooking, and dancing, and I prioritize pleasure and joy.
