About My Clients
Are you often the person that others rely on while it’s hard for you to accept the same care in return? Do you have a relentless inner critic that pushes you towards perfection, and is never satisfied? My clients are BIPOC adults who want support in learning how to manage their anxiety, heal trauma and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves.
My Background and Approach
My approach is warm, direct, and deeply caring. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) which is helps you heal past experiences that impact your sense of self in the present. I teach you grounding strategies to use both inside and outside of session to help with better managing emotions and responses to stressful situations. My training in Somatic Experiencing helps with bringing your body "into the conversation," so in addition, to verbal processing, we process your experiences in your body in order to have a more complete conversation. All of these support a deeper sense of healing and ease as you navigate your life with more tools, a better sense of self and more flexible responses.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My belief is that I can't effectively work with clients without considering their identities and their larger context. I'm always curious about race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, class, etc. because these factors shape us and in turn engaging them is part of the healing work.
