About My Clients
I offer individual therapy to address anxiety, trauma, grief and life transitions. You are the expert on you. I believe you have strengths and values that may have been fogged by symptoms, experiences, beliefs, etc. My intention for therapy is to offer you a space to be seen, connect with a values drive life, and become more attune and curious to your mind and body.
My Background and Approach
I received a masters in social from Temple University in 2012. I have clinical experience with substance abuse, trauma, homeless services, and LGBTQ+ population. I'm also a yoga teacher with experience in studios, office settings, homeless shelters, treatment programs, and schools. Completing EMDR certification is one of the greatest gains of my career because it provides skills, confidence, and safety in mind body treatment. Similar to my experience with yoga, EMDR changed my career and personal life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I didn't become a therapist by accident, I know what it is like to not be seen. This absence led me to theatre; I mean what greater venue than a stage to be seen. A college production of 9 Parts of Desire (by Heather Raffo) is what I look back on now and say "that was step one to becoming a therapist". As a cast we worked with a group of Iraqi refugees. This time together allowed the production to give voice to their dignity and worth. Three years after this production I completed my masters in social work. But of course the journey doesn't end there. I was experiencing a stuck anxious energy that traditional talk therapy didn't seem to be addressing. A friend's encouragement to try a yoga class moved this energy. I was invited to notice feelings and sensations without judgement. I was seeing myself. The mind body connection is the heart of what I offer. My hope is to offer a space for you to be seen.
