About My Clients
I work with adults and adolescents, people in all stages of addiction recovery (12 step and harm reduction), LGBTQ+ folks, and creatives. My speciality areas include: depression, anxiety, dissociation, PTSD and complex trauma, substance abuse, identity exploration, relationship dynamics, and family of origin healing.
My Background and Approach
I believe therapy is most effective when we begin from a place of curiosity, compassion, courage, and care. My education and training is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and rooted in a person-centered, integrative approach to healing. I view myself as a collaborator and partner alongside my clients, and seek to offer a space where exploration, healing are possible. The work we do in therapy is often challenging and sometimes painful, and I offer a safe, supportive environment to heal and change.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am influenced by Internal Family Systems (IFS); feminist, queer and postmodern theories; attachment theory; psychodynamic theory; polyvagal theory (PVT); and mindfulness. During a session, I may draw in various tools and perspectives from each of these modalities. In addition, my training as an Art Therapist means we can integrate various other forms of creative work.
