About My Clients

I primarily work with couples and adults with relational wounding and trauma who are ready to transform the way they relate to themselves, their partner/s, and loved ones. Together we isolate areas of challenge, pain, and misunderstanding to find and practice more authentic and connected ways of relating to yourself and others. I also love to work with teens in developing healthy coping skills, emotional awareness, and a steady and confident sense of self.

My Background and Approach

My practice is trauma-focused, relational, and affirming and use a kind, curious, steady, and playful approach. While my primary focus is helping couples interrupt negative patterns, stabilize their partnership, and find healthier and more meaningful ways of connecting, I also work with individual teens and adults. In our sessions, I use EMDR, IFS inspired parts-work, and Relational Somatic Healing (RSH) to offer healing and new relational opportunities. I am also queer, poly, and kink friendly and welcome relationships of all configurations.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Healing is mysterious, organic, and reliable. Our bodies already know how to heal, but sometimes we need to have the right supports in place to help us through the process. Finding the right therapist can take time and be daunting. If you find a good match, though, it can be life-changing. You should feel connected to your therapist - that they get you. You should feel the sessions are helpful, even if you don’t know how yet, and while hard, it should feel like a good kind of hard and not overwhelming. In this process , I encourage you to trust your gut. Your therapist will have skills and tools, but not know you better than you. One of my favorite things is to watch my clients repeatedly discover and open doors they never knew were shut and saying, “I didn’t know this was possible...” I am not invested in you working with me. I am invested in you working with someone who can really support you. You deserve to heal and discover what is possible.
