I love working with individuals and groups who have experienced relationship or systems-based trauma, whether in childhood or adulthood. This can include physical, sexual, verbal, emotional, financial, spiritual, or systemic traumas and may be the result of abusive relationships or living as a marginalized individual in an inadequate and even harmful system. I believe that the "symptoms" associated with trauma don't occur because there is "something wrong with you." Rather, I believe that they are evidence of your body and mind's inherent wisdom and ability to establish safety and sovereignty over your own life.
I approach trauma from a holistic, non-pathologizing, and strength-based perspective. I regularly include play, movement, art, advocacy, and laughter into sessions. My goal is to meet you where you are and to collaborate with you to make therapy a meaningful and fruitful experience.
I see it as my job to SEE you and to believe your story, and to believe IN you, and to help you harness your personal strengths, your body’s wisdom, and your humanity to find healing.
