My Approach to Helping

The foundation of my work as a therapist is forming a safe and trusting relationship with my clients. I view therapy as a collaborative process between therapist and client and take a strengths-based approach, believing you are not at a deficit and are not defined by a diagnosis or symptoms. I recognize that social justice issues are a major contributor to many mental health concerns and do not see my clients in isolation from the issues going on in our world. You can expect to move at a pace that is comfortable for you, learning to trust the wisdom of your body through engaging in play, artistic expression and embodiment practices. I believe that we already have resources within us, but that trauma (individual, family and on a systemic scale) has separated us from ourselves, each other and the earth. I have extensive training/experience using trauma-informed modalities, like IFS & EMDR, to help you feel more connected to yourself and your relationships.

More About the People I Treat

My areas of focus include: Family therapy & Parent support; Couples/Partner therapy; Empaths & Sensitive folks; Religious trauma recovery; and Foster care/Adoption support. I have had extensive experience in supporting trauma recovery for those with PTSD & other other post-traumatic diagnoses. I have worked in the community mental health setting supporting children, families and couples with relational & attachment traumas. I have led support groups for parents, LGBTQIA+ youth and in-school sexual assault recovery groups for high schoolers. Some specific traumas I have experience working with includes: Infant & early life trauma, sexual abuse/assault, foster care/adoption and religious trauma. I love helping people heal within the context of their important relationships and believe that lasting change comes when we address the entire system.
