About My Clients
My clients tend to be thoughtful, deep, and searching for meaning in life. They are often suffering from pain inflicted by others. This could be pain by another person or people, such as childhood trauma/neglect or an unhealthy relationship. It could also be systemic, such as racial trauma, homophobia, or any other of the "isms." I am also specialized in working with pain and trauma caused by harmful religious systems/people, including religious trauma and cult recovery.
My Background and Approach
I hold a Ph.D. in counseling psychology and am EMDR certified. I specialize in trauma, including religious trauma, and work with a relational style. I incorporate body-focused, emotion-focused, and existential elements into my work.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am integrated in my approach, customizing my work toward each client's needs and personalities. I use a relational approach with the belief that we get hurt in relationships and we heal in relationships. I also try to bring focus to the body and the various ways our bodies hold our histories, emotions, and pain. My trauma informed focus is infused in all that I do. I'm constantly examining areas of power, control, privilege, marginalization, and how your (and my) intersecting identities impact how you experience your life and our work together.
