About My Clients
I work with birth givers who are managing the challenges of family building and the complexity of this season of life. I use somatic tools to help resource clients' nervous systems, support a reconnection to their sense of self, and enable them to live a more wholehearted, authentic life. With specialized training and experience in the treatment of trauma, I support survivors of sexual violence, interpersonal/relational trauma and complex trauma—especially as they navigate new parenthood.
My Background and Approach
I started my career working at nonprofits serving marginalized groups, specifically survivors of childhood sexual abuse, intimate partner violence and sex trafficking. Before starting my private practice in 2020, I was the substance abuse specialist for a local healthcare group serving the LGBTQ+ community. My approach incorporates Parts Work/IFS, Brainspotting, and somatic practices. I also have specialized training in EMDR, Trauma and Loss for the Perinatal community and FLASH/ Four Blinks. I am currently pursuing certification in Brainspotting.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I couldn’t imagine a better way to spend my days than being with people who want to make their lives better. People who still hold hope - even if it feels small - in the possibility of change. I find my clients to be relatable, interesting, creative, fun, funny and endlessly resourceful. I am often reminded in sessions of the power of humor, what is good in the world and our human capacity to find light in the darkness. Post traumatic growth is essentially the belief that change is possible. And that we can nurture this growth by an ongoing commitment to our healing journey. When we attend to our own needs, stay connected to others, continue learning, and trust in our ability to take meaningful action, we deepen our self-understanding. Through this process, we begin to create a sense of purpose—and make meaning of our lives and the experiences that have shaped us.
