About My Clients
I work with clients from the queer community, high-achievers operating in survival mode, and individuals raised in environments where love was conditional. Many come from marginalized backgrounds and learned to shrink themselves, over-adapt, or mask their true selves in order to cope and exist safely.
My Background and Approach
I take an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and collaborative approach to treatment. I integrate modalities including (but not limited to) narrative, Somatic Experiencing®*, and Acceptance Commitment and Therapy to support folks find healing from trauma and pride in themselves. (*I am currently an SE™ Student in the process of completing the educational and related requirements towards pursuing the Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner credential.)
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe the body holds experiences and trauma when it remain unresolved or ongoing. Individuals are the experts on their own lives and how they experience their bodies and the world. My role as a therapist, is to co-create a safe and supportive space, to offer guidance and walk alongside people, and to use tools that help cultivate awareness of feelings, sensations, and beliefs to support folks find a more honoring, compassionate, and flexible relationship with self and the world.
