About My Clients
I aim to foster a safe, supportive space to partner with clients in their healing process. Many people who partner with me are survivors of trauma, seeking support regarding reproduction (i.e. abortion, miscarriage, birth trauma, postpartum challenges, and parenting), feeling stuck in anxiety and shame, and/or looking for ways to build self-compassion while caring for others.
My Background and Approach
As a therapist, I aim to create a supportive space to partner with clients in their healing process. I have over a decade of experience working with adult and youth trauma survivors and their loved ones. Folks who work with me typically seek support with trauma recovery, anxiety, parenting, reproductive health (pregnancy, abortion, loss, etc), immigration, adoption/fostercare, grief, burnout, compassion fatigue, and gender identity exploration. Mindful-self compassion, “parts work,” embodiment, Health At Every Size (HAES), and feminist practices inform my therapeutic approach. My clinical work is enriched by my experiences as an organizer and accomplice around queer and trans liberation, abortion care, children’s rights, and immigrants’ rights. I provide training and clinical supervision on trauma- and resilience-informed care and secondary traumatic stress to communities across the state of North Carolina.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My practice acknowledges the impact of systemic oppression and intergenerational trauma on individuals and communities. Antiracist and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy is an ongoing practice, and it’s one that I engage with through participation in social movements and ongoing self-education. I support BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, immigrant, reproductive justice, worker, and feminist liberation movements. I love and am lucky to be loved by queer/trans friends and family.
