About My Clients
My ideal client is someone who's hard go of life-I certainly don't wish that, of course, on anyone!-but working with folx who've been through a lot and been dealing with it for a long time is what I've tried to get good at. I help folx of all gender identities, faith orientations and walks of life.
My Background and Approach
I specialize in complex trauma, PTSD and dissociative disorders. I am EMDR-Certified (which is a step above the regular training EMDR folks do), have attended a great many trainings in how to help folx with complex dissociative issues, and have started two consultation groups and a book club to further mine (and peers') understanding of this work. I've dove deeply into learning how to do this stuff well. You'd be in great hands, and I'd love to help.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe humans-all humans-are imbued with inherent dignity that is never to be violated and can never be snuffed out, degraded or taken away. This is true at all times, in all circumstances. That's sometimes philosophically tough to square with what we see in the world, but it's always true and always holds. In order to make therapy accessible to more people, I take a number of insurances; I also work with a charity in town (the Austin SIMS Foundation) to further expand the accessibility of therapy to the world.
