About My Clients
I support adult individuals, couples, and families navigating trauma, relationship challenges, attachment wounds, and identity. As a queer person myself, I love working with the LGBTQIA+ community and affirm all relationship types. I feel privileged to help individuals grow into their authentic, unguarded selves, leaving unhelpful patterns behind and supporting better connection with themselves and others.
My Background and Approach
In our work together, we will prioritize moving at an intentional pace, aimed at exploring protective patterns that have developed over time and work towards building self-understanding, groundedness and improved relationship with self and others. I support clients through traditional talk therapy, exploring protective patterns (self harm, inner criticism, eating patterns, addiction, etc.), somatic work, Emotion-Focused Couples or Family Therapy, or EMDR. As a therapist I am open, compassionate, and value giving honest feedback to shift old patterns when needed. I specialize in navigating trauma, relationship challenges, attachment wounds, and identity exploration. I have experience working with mood disorders, personality disorders, suicidal ideation and self-harm, disordered eating, and body image struggles. I have background working in inpatient crisis settings, residential treatment for adolescents and adults, family addictions therapy and outpatient therapy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe all humans have an imperative need to feel seen, understood, and held, but unfortunately we don't always feel that way. Whether it feels too scary, too vulnerable, or like no one’s truly listening, I am here to create a space that welcomes it. I typically assume that most people have experiences, old or new, that impact the way they view themselves and the world around them. As a lesbian woman previously raised in a conservative environment, I feel passionately about working with folks who likely had their self perception shaped by individuals who were unwilling or unable to fully see them, or accept them as their most authentic selves.
