About My Clients
My clients are a beautiful mix of folks struggling with anxiety, relationship issues, and perinatal mental health (pregnancy, infertility, pregnancy loss, postpartum). They are searching for concrete strategies to change their lives and clarity about what is within and outside of their control. They appreciate that I am direct and strategy-oriented, offering real life skills to create change. Many have said they appreciate my consideration of intergenerational patterns and impact of identity.
My Background and Approach
When you work with me, you can expect to learn strategies and explore life challenges in a compassionate, direct, and trauma-informed way. In a controlled setting, I will help you learn to recognize physiological and emotional cues from your body, integrate self-soothing practices, and investigate thought and behavior patterns. We will talk about the forces that have shaped you, including family of origin and social/cultural messages, and help you identify the strengths in your adaptations and the patterns you desire to release. I have specialty training in decolonization therapy, emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), somatic experiencing, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), feminist therapy, and narrative therapy, mindfulness therapy (DBT), and trauma resolution.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My work is rooted in the knowledge that our place in our families, culture, and society deeply shapes the challenges we face and inner strength we acquire. I believe the more we are able to resolve past traumas, break from traditions and patterns that harm us, and align with what is true and beautiful in ourselves, the better we feel in life.
