About My Clients
Many of us are conditioned to believe that we must stuff our pain deep inside and move on. Not only can this be deeply harmful to our psyche, but our bodies also hold trauma & pain in such a way that can impact our health at large. My hope is to offer a safe space for you to navigate the story of your life, past and present, and begin experiencing homeostasis of mind, body & soul. I work with folks 13+.
My Background and Approach
I have experience serving children, adolescents, and families in varied mental health settings. These have included working at an inpatient behavioral health hospital, supporting adults & youth with eating disorders, and providing individualized therapy in my private practice. Amongst a long list of various jobs, I also have lived experience with an eating disorder, as a full spectrum doula, and as a caregiver of children. Psychodynamic, trauma-informed, somatic, object-relations, attachment, cultural sensitivity, and Body Liberation approaches are foundational to my therapeutic orientation. These, as well as others, assist me in approaching each individual through a holistic & intersectional lens. I believe in the power of community care, and if we are not a great fit, I will do my best to assist you along the way to finding support that works for you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a forever learner (unlearner), especially regarding the divestment from oppressive structures rooted in white supremacy: heteropatriarchy, saneism, colonialism, capitalism, anti-fatness, etc. My ongoing divestment from oppressive structures, looks like, though is not limited to: anti-carceral treatment modalities, economic justice, deconstructing ideas around timeliness & perfection, being mindful of accessibility (whether online or in-person), moving away from "evidence based" practices, questioning/divesting from the very structures that determine & maintain one's licensure, staying engaged in conversations, trainings, readings, reflections that also align with the decolonization of mental health, etc.
