About My Clients
I work with adults and teens who feel overwhelmed, numb, and everything in between. If you've been feeling disconnected from yourself, feel afraid to slow down, have experienced previous traumatizing events or are currently facing traumatic experiences, you don't have to hold it all on your own. My goal is to create a nurturing and collaborative environment that empowers you to push yourself slowly beyond where you’re comfortable, at your own pace.
My Background and Approach
During our time together, I will work somatically with you, meaning that I help you connect with your body to recognize what it’s feeling, when, and why. We then use that information to help you manage your emotions, relax your body and increase feelings of safety. Additionally, I work to highlight your strengths, challenge your default ways of thinking. I love to incorporate mindfulness and grounding techniques, as well as discovering what unique coping skills we can develop based on your lifestyle and interests. My approach is informed by my experiences of working with people experiencing homelessness, survivors of crime, with teens in a residential treatment center and at a juvenile detention facility. I also have a history of working in the community through AmeriCorps and strongly believe that only when we connect to ourselves, can we fully show up for our communities.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Having grown up with family challenges such as divorce, addiction, loss, and cultural identity struggles—I understand the courage it takes to start therapy and I want to encourage you to take that step for yourself. I was lucky to find a great therapist who created a welcoming space for all aspects of my identity. I believe that therapy should be a safe place to challenge the ways we live our everyday lives. I am very passionate about social justice and approach from a feminist lens.
