About My Clients
I've had the privilege of supporting people experiencing various challenges and symptoms across diverse settings, like college counseling centers, private practice, inpatient hospitals, and state corrections. It is my practice to show up humbly, curiously, and openly for each individual and all their parts. Folx who are comfortable with telehealth and ready to embrace something a little different (i.e., Somatic Experiencing™) will likely match well with me.
My Background and Approach
I'm a clinical psychologist with over 15 years experience in the mental health field. I’ve focused my post-graduate experience and training at the intersection of cultural humility, mindfulness, compassion, post-traumatic growth, telehealth, and clinician training and development. My approach to treatment is affirming, inclusive, and compassionate with prioritization of a secure therapeutic relationship. My practice is integrative -- I use both traditional psychotherapy approaches, like Relational and Psychodynamic therapies, paired with alternative approaches, like Somatic Experiencing™ (SE) and Mindful Self-Compassion. I specialize in supporting folx who are navigating interpersonal difficulties, grieving, recovering from distress and trauma, or experiencing symptoms not easily explained by allopathic medicine.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I’ve been gifted the treasures of support and grace as I’ve journeyed and reflected on my identities and their intersections with the world. I’ve committed to practices of cultural humility, continued reflection and learning, and to daily actions that demonstrate my social justice values and disrupt systemic -isms. I identify as a white, cisgender, heterosexual woman with incredible privilege that protects me daily. I grew up poor in a rural farming community. I am a survivor of trauma and of suicide. I was a first generation college student. I am a wife, sister, daughter, friend, and fur mom to a dog and two cats. I am a gardener and nature enthusiast. I am a life-long student. I am an advocate with feminist, anti-racist, and body positive motivations and practices.
