About My Clients
I specialize (9 + yr experience) in working with women who have experienced childhood/recent traumas to reclaim their self trust. I recognize that trauma takes different shapes throughout life as we encounter various relationships, achievements, losses and life shifts. Here healing isn’t a destination but an ever growing relationship. Together we will foster kindness, bolster your strengths and detangle the hard stuff through an approach that braids creative, body and brain-based psychology.
My Background and Approach
Above all, I honor the humanness and inherit wisdom in you. Through an inclusive approach tailored to your needs, I listen carefully to shape experiences in the therapy room that foster embodied cellular change. Whether using Expressive Arts, Brainspotting, Somatic parts-work, or values-based mindfulness, I help you to feel resourced in the face of all life’s waves - whether that be something internal, your environment or even your intergenerational history. As a graduate-level instructor my work is rooted and branched out of the research of interpersonal neurobiology. I have received the following accolades in the field. Insoo Kim Berg Award for “Outstanding Contribution to Social Work Knowledge and Practice” by peers in 2018 and the “Community of Practice” Award by colleagues in 2019. Licensed in DC, MD, TX, IL and CA. I have experience living in NC, DC and southern CA.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Therapy isn’t about arriving at a fixed idea of “healed.” It’s about helping your mind and body renegotiate a curious, authentic and kind relationship with one another - helping you find a growing and steady home in yourself while also feeling alive and whole. I believe that each encounter in life is symbiotic and with that it is my hope to be a compassionate forever student of myself, of others, of art and of nature.
