Trauma Work: It can be incredibly frustrating and shame inducing when you find yourself repeating the same negative relationship patterns, behavioral and emotional responses, and maladaptive thought processes. My approach to trauma work is both holistic and central nervous system oriented; focusing on the brain, body, and behavior to see how your body’s trauma stress response is keeping you stuck in old narratives and patterns. I am trained in EMDR which is perfect for clients who do not want to rehash the details of trauma or who feel that they have not had success with traditional talk therapy.
LGBTQI+: Having a therapist that is knowledgeable and affirming to the unique experiences held by members of the LGBTQI+ community is necessary for safety, growth, and change in the therapeutic setting. I offer a space that queer and questioning clients can show up as their full selves without the need to explain or justify their identities.
ASD and Neurodivergence: I have been working with young adults on the autism spectrum and neurodivergent individuals for 20 yrs of my time in the helping profession. The focus of therapy can be anything you want, and will incorporate aspects of improving social connections, building relationships, increasing self-regulation and improving executive function.
