About My Clients
What you are experiencing is valid and as humans, connection and support can be monumental during difficult times. I bring warmth into my work and value helping my clients improve connection to themselves, their relationships with others, and their sexuality. I will work alongside you to reflect in a meaningful and validating way, healing the trauma holistically both in your mind and body. At the heart of things, I will help you begin to navigate a path to thrive instead of just survive.
My Background and Approach
I am collaborative and work through a lens that tailors to your needs. With specialized training in Trauma, Sex Therapy, and EMDR, I work with clients to help uncover past experiences and connect them to current distress showing up in their life. This awareness can be a catalyst for deepening your relationship with yourself and how you show up in the world. I am an intersectional therapist and work with you, the expert of your life, to hold space for your various identities and collaborate in our work together. I provide an integrative approach to therapy that combines a variety of therapeutic tools and approaches to fit the needs of each individual client through a lens of being person-centered, anti-oppressive, and non-judgmental. Therapeutic approaches I frequently call upon are Polyvagal Theory, Attachment Theory, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Trauma Therapy, Narrative Theory, Somatic practices, and Emotion-Focused Therapy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As your therapist I view my role as providing support, helping to uncover past experiences resulting in current distress or unhelpful patterns, empowering the self holistically through the mind and body, and challenging you in a direct, yet gentle way. I lean on the strength of the therapeutic relationship to help you see that you have the capacity to heal within you. On a personal note: I was born and raised in the PNW and find intrinsic healing value in the nature around me. You can often find me hiking, camping, or stopping to smell the flowers. I believe turning inward is often the first and most vital step in becoming aligned with the life you want to lead. I bring my authentic self to the therapy room with humor, compassion, and by also focusing on what is going right in my clients lives. I feel privileged to hear the unique and powerful stories of every person I work with and look forward to partnering with you on your healing journey.
