Your past continues to resurface, impacting your present relationships. You feel like you can't trust yourself. You've attempted to push it aside or forget about it entirely, but that's no longer working. You're ready to move forward, but you're trapped by thoughts, emotions and somatic experiences. I've got you! I'm passionate about helping clients find relief from anxiety & reconnect with their authentic selves after trauma. With a decade of experience working with trauma, I specialize in treating adults with a history of complex and relational trauma. I especially enjoy working with women and adult children of EIPs. View 7 Photos I'm a strengths-based de-pathologizing provider; I tailor treatment to client's needs and existing resources. My style is collaborative, compassionate & attachment focused. First, I join with clients in our shared humanity, then I use my clinical experience to draw from EMDR, IFS, EFIT, Somatic Experiencing, CBT, and Compassion-Focused Therapy. With non-violence as a guiding principle, I offer a trauma informed, anti-racist, LGBTQ+ affirming, fat positive, pro-reproductive-freedom space. I aim to empower clients by providing new perspectives, heightened self-awareness, and practical tools to foster thriving. In addition to individual therapy, I offer group therapy and EMDR intensives.
