About My Clients
I work with new parents both via telehealth and in their homes to unpack the trauma that is becoming a PARENT. An event that is so "normal" - yet none of us can be prepared for how wholly and utterly it changes our lives. I work with folks who might be overwhelmed, anxious, and uncertain about the season in front of them. It's my hope to settle in with you for an hour or two a week, make you a cup of tea or hold that baby, and hear about how it's truly been.
My Background and Approach
I will be available to offer curiosity into repeated patterns, into family systems, relational style, and other areas that may have shaped you. I believe that understanding our stories and the stories of our families can have significant impact on recovery and growth. I lean heavily on Relational Therapy, which teaches that healing occurs most effectively within compassionate, nonjudgmental, honest relationship. I also integrate Narrative Therapy (the story of your life and how you tell it matters), Somatic Therapy (acknowledging the wisdom your body holds and the story it’s trying to tell), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (changing our patterns means looking at our thought processes). I have received extensive training in sex therapy through the Northwest Institute on Intimacy. I’m interested in and passionate about our identity expression in their many intricate, beautiful, and varying forms.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I identify as a queer, white, able-bodied cis woman. I am deeply passionate about connecting with each other during the darkest periods of our lives, and at the moment, particularly during the postpartum period. My work is greatly influenced by my own healing and the pursuit of my own growth.
