About My Clients
You've been to therapy before but find yourself feeling frustrated by endlessly talking about and over-analyzing your issues, while still feeling stuck in certain behavior patterns or reactions you can't seem to change. You're prone to harsh self-criticism, feel more sensitive than others, frequently second guess yourself, and struggle to set boundaries. You might know why you do what you do, but it often feels impossible to actually follow through with the changes you want to make.
My Background and Approach
You want to get to the root of your issues and stop yourself from being emotionally hijacked, while feeling more confident, grounded, fierce, and free. I take people who have already tried talk-therapy on a holistic healing journey, so that you can finally translate the wisdom in your symptoms, clear trauma at the root, and step into your power. Using Brainspotting, and other bottom-up approaches that support nervous system healing, I can help you create lasting change and healing that doesn't take decades to work. As a trauma therapist for several years, I understand the ways in which our once-adaptive survival responses and trauma can keep us stuck, while wreaking havoc on our minds, bodies, and relationships. I would be honored to be your guide in getting unstuck so that you can create and live a life that deeply nourishes and nurtures, rather than depletes, you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a white, cis, bi, woman, I recognize the many privileges and the power I hold in this culture. I am actively working to learn more about all of the "isms" and to decolonize my beliefs and practices, which is a privilege in and of itself. Social and racial justice are core values for me and recent events have fueled my motivation even more to continue my unlearning, while also advocating for justice and equality for all. I aim to practice from a depathologizing place. I'm an animal lover and have 2 dogs (rescues) and 3 kitties, who you may end up seeing or hearing (briefly) in sessions. I take my personal and professional development and growth very seriously and I truly love learning. Brainspotting has changed my life and the lives of many of my clients. Last, but certainly not least, I have some experience and training in working with trans men and non-binary folx. I don't believe I have enough training or experience yet to call myself competent, but I'm working on it.
