About My Clients
I primarily work with young adults (ages 18 - 45), many of whom are struggling with life changes such as school or workplace transitions. Some of the concerns I work with include complex trauma, anxiety disorders, depression, OCD, body dysmorphia, and maladaptive perfectionism.
My Background and Approach
My work is informed by attachment and neuroscience, exploring how past hurts affect the way your brain functions today. By identifying the root causes of the patterns you feel “stuck” in, we are able to work together to untangle hurtful beliefs about yourself. Talk therapy modalities we may use include CBT, psychoeducation, feminist therapy and holistic coaching depending on your unique needs and preferences. Not every client will benefit from solely talk therapy. For many, past trauma becomes "stuck" in part of the brain and contributes to PTSD, depression, and low self-esteem. For clients who feel "stuck" in their trauma, attempting to cognitively make sense of it can feel impossible. EMDR does not require clients to verbally share details of traumatic memories. Instead, it helps your brain engage its natural healing process, so that your brain can "recode" the memories without the intense emotional charge and negative self beliefs associated with them.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a lesbian and neurodivergent-identified clinician and work with many members of these communities. I believe that experiences of oppression including transphobia, homophobia, ableism, racism, classism and sexism create complex trauma over time. Many clients I work with have had painful experiences with past helping professionals. I work with survivors of ABA, conversion therapy, and other traumatic experiences from non-affirming providers in a trauma-informed and client centered way.
