Our relationship is the most important part of our work together. The more we can get into right relationships with ourselves, each other, change, and the world around us, the better equipped we are to live a life full of meaning, joy, and awe. I am EMDR trained and utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS), trauma-informed, and relationship-oriented approaches.My values in therapy include queer and trans-affirming care, fat-affirming care, neurodivergent-affirming care, and sex positive approaches. I am happy to provide letters for gender-affirming care and surgeries.
My areas of clinical expertise are trauma with a special focus on religious trauma, queer identity, and anxiety and depression. I utilize parts work, which is the idea that we are all made up of different parts of ourselves. During our sessions, I prioritize curiosity around who these parts are and what makes them feel safe.
Please reach out for a free 20-minute intro call to see if we might be a good fit!
