Stress and trauma can take many forms. Sometimes we survive an event such as a car accident, wildfire, assault, or military-related event. Or we may notice chronic struggles with trusting others and ourselves, and feeling stressed and unsatisfied in our relationships. The experience of trauma can significantly impact how we change or grow in each present moment, how we connect and separate from others, and how we experiment, take risks, and resource our creativity. Let's co-create a therapy relationship that works to support the development of loving relationships with self and others.
My specialty areas include working with survivors of trauma/neglect/abuse; relationships and relating with self/others; oppression/ discrimination/ intersections of identities; LGBTQ+ folks; poly/kink folks; self-care for activists and helping professionals, immigrants, asylum seekers; imposter syndrome; and use of mindfulness, emotion, body awareness.
Additionally, I am formally trained in EMDR and Clinical Hypnosis. I personally identify as queer, feminist, white anti-racist, cisgender woman (and trans-affirmative), Arab-American, and social justice activist. I find that being transparent about these identifiers with potential clients can contribute to building trust and safety.
