About My Clients

My clients are highly motivated adults and teens ready to reflect on the past to change their future. This is a place where you can explore your identities and practice unmasking. Redefine or hone each aspect of you, including gender, sexuality, dis/ability, neurodivergence, racial, and career identities as well as your social identities (geek, emo, etc). When you feel more like yourself, you will feel safe to connect with others and build communities where you can exist authentically.

How I Can Help You

I work with folks with all sorts of experiences that impacted their relationships with friends, family, the world, and themselves. My goal is to help you explore the messages you've received in order to support you in feeling like yourself again. We will work together to set up your unique goals. In our work together, we will integrate humanistic talk therapy and EMDR. Your recent and past emotional experiences will lead us to your core concerns, and I will be there with you as we rediscover true parts of you and dismantle beliefs that no longer serve you. The intentional use of EMDR can reduce the intensity of traumas you experienced at various stages of life. Not all traumas look the same! We will challenge your negative beliefs about yourself and increase alignment with your best, well-rested self. For my neurodivergent clients, 90 minute sessions provide more time to verbally process and dive deep into important topics. Ask me how longer sessions could work better for you!

My Values as a Therapist

Relationships can cause hurt, and relationships are also where we find healing. In our therapeutic relationship, we will practice using empathy, setting healthy boundaries, and being authentic. Our relationships with society impact how we feel about our unique identities. Oppressive systems in our world create expectations that squash individuality and freedom, especially if you are queer, neurodivergent, and/or a POC. The values of justice, equity, and authenticity are at the front of my work at all time. Let's make a safe space for you. As we turn inward, we will seek the younger parts of you. Babies are born with so much wisdom, creativity, and freedom. They know just how to ask for what they need and how to listen to their bodies. We will create space for young-you to reteach you what you've known from the start, especially when it comes to rest, food, and connection. Together, we will explore your beliefs about relationships and work towards creating safety and self-trust.
