Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
I'm a therapist that specializes in trauma, C-PTSD and attachment wounding. I utilize a modern, integrative approach to help clients address and process how the trauma and painful events they've been through have negatively impacted their relationship to themselves and others. It can produce a lot of chronic stress and shame to act out this wounding unconsciously and I hope to create a therapeutic relationship that feels safe and resilient enough to explore these sensitive areas of our psyche. Through this work, we can help you quiet the chaos that arises when confronted with our social and emotional triggers. Many of us are chronically disconnected from our body and emotions so I approach mental wellbeing holistically and utilize several evidence-backed frameworks that address both the mind and body. I teach clients how to use somatic techniques that improve mindfulness, grounding skills, and nervous system regulation. I have extensive experience working with the LGBT community and clients of varying ethnic/racial backgrounds and center their voices in my work. I take a non-hierarchical approach to therapy so you feel like a collaborator with a sense of agency. I offer free phone consultations in case you have any questions or concerns. I look forward to working with you!
