My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a therapist, I am here to help make the unknown known and help people navigate the impact of the past, sometimes the present, on your current well-being. I believe good and supportive trauma-work includes honoring your pace and all the facets of your lived experiences, teaching skills to help deal with the difficult emotions and dissociation, and utilizing techniques that support your body in knowing the trauma is over, or navigating it from a conscious and empowered space. Through a combination of attachment-focused, somatic-based, parts work and EMDR, it is possible to find greater harmony and ease within. It is possible to deconstruct old beliefs, disrupt past patterns, and rewire your nervous system to seek safety and belonging over chaos and familiarity. I would be honored to walk with you while you do it. Please know I’m LGBTQIA+ affirming and a trans ally.
