I believe that people are more than their diagnoses. I recognize that a strong therapeutic relationship with a client creates a powerful foundation for growth and change. These two values are at the basis of my practice. I am part of both the LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent communities and my practice affirms these and other marginalized identities. I enjoy helping clients embrace parts of themself that society dismisses and categorizes as weird or different.
My main specialty is trauma, including developmental trauma, complex trauma, and PTSD. Along with helping clients work through trauma, I also focus on other issues that are often linked to trauma including anxiety both general and social, low self-worth and self-esteem, depression, and avoidant behaviors.
I know that all of these issues and identities can leave someone feeling disconnected, unseen, and disempowered. Through both cognitive and somatic therapies I believe clients can harness vitality in their experience. I strive to create a space where one can rebuild their hope, realize their dreams and lead a life that represents their personal values.
