“Don't turn away. Keep your gaze on the bandaged place. That's where the light enters you.” by Rumi captures my philosophy on therapy. I believe that even the most unlikeable, confusing, painful parts of you have a wisdom to be understood, a protectiveness to be thanked, and a vulnerability to be seen and held. In making the brave choice to bring awareness and care to our wounds, we might uncover a vastness inside that once felt out of reach. It is in the dark that the light finds you, and I feel honored and humbled to accompany my clients on this journey.
I specialize in trauma/PTSD, couples therapy, and intersecting issues of identity. I also offer clinical supervision for LGSWs.
My therapeutic framework with individuals integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness and EMDR. I also practice Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with couples, particularly from queer, poly affirming and multicultural frameworks.
