About My Clients

Typically my clients fall into these categories: -adult children of emotionally immature parents -people wanting to break free from a box they've been in -folks questioning or recovering from negative experiences with religion or religious communities -lgbtq+ people looking to explore their gender or sexual identity and expression -those specifically looking to lessen the pain of traumatic experiences through EMDR therapy

My Background and Approach

My approach blends trauma-informed and evidence based therapies (such as EMDR) with existential exploration, curiosity, and creativity. I received my masters in Counseling Psychology and Drama Therapy from the California Institute of Integral Studies in 2022. For the last 5 years I've specialized in supporting people of all ages and identities through recovering from trauma - from single incidents to complex and lifelong harm. Together, we might explore identity, relationships, grief, embodiment, intimacy, meaning, family dynamics, work stressors, or the parts of yourself that have been hidden, rejected, or overworked for a long time. Let’s explore the patterns that helped you survive in the past and move towards the future you want.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that therapy is co-creative. While I have education and training to support you where you are, only you truly know what it is that you need. I believe in going as slow as the slowest parts of us. The lenses I use in session is feminist, anti-carceral, anti-oppressive, neuroaffirming, sex-positive, and creative.
