About My Clients
My ideal clients are ambitious adults who feel plateaued or stuck in their work, relationships, or healing journey. On the surface life looks solid, yet anxiety kills focus, old wounds drain energy, and your childhood keeps showing up in your relationships. You’ve come far on talent and drive, but the strategies that you've used to protect and propel you are now holding you back. You always say it, but everything's not ok.
My Background and Approach
I’m trained in EMDR (EMDRIA-approved), Internal Family Systems (Level 2), and TF-CBT. We use these methods to unpack the present and unearth what connects it to the past. While also implementing practical tools that you can use to get immediate results. Our first few sessions will be just that, unpacking. I'll be looking to understand your story with an emphasis on the ways you protected yourself so we can build naturally on those skills. During these early session I'll breakdown EMDR and IFS to ensure you're comfortable with the process. We'll approach pacing collaboratively. Theres an art to healing. When you're ready we'll delve into the deeper and begin mapping and resolving the issues that have kept you stuck. No session will end before we're both certain that you feel grounded in your mind and body. Healing requires depth of knowledge but also a respect for your unique context. I mix fluidity, structure and a dash of humor to create a safe atmosphere that leads to results.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I like to think of myself as a healing healer. I embrace the symbiotic relationship that is therapy. I often find that my clients are on a path I know very well and conversely find that their strengths and struggles usually lead me deeper into my own. Me showing up for you requires that I show up for myself. So I have my own therapist and i'm doing my own work. I also view this work as my activism. Ive done my fair share of marching but I believe we make our greatest contribution through our gifting. I view healing as revolutionary. This world feeds on the poor, sick and helpless. Recovering from what you've been through, recharging to rejoin the fight and finding happiness in the work you've been called to do is a direct hit to the powers that be. Thats sacred work and i'm honored to join you on that journey. I am Pro-Black/BIPOC, Indigenous, Immigrant, Palestine, Congo etc etc and this is a safe space of my LGBTQ family.
