Therapy with me will provide a safe, warm, nonjudgmental, identity-affirming space. We will explore how past and present experiences, and systems, have shaped the distress, anxiety, anger, or hopelessness you may be carrying and identify ways you have adapted to these experiences that may be contributing to the stress/trauma held in your brain and body and carried into your relationships. I will support and challenge you to grow and heal from this. You will leave sessions with greater insight and self-compassion, and tools to relieve distress/anxiety/anger/sadness, better regulate your nervous system and improve your relationships.
My background in psychology, neuroscience, and social work provides a rich perspective on the effects of trauma and stress on our brains, minds, and bodies. With this knowledge, I have worked extensively with youth and adult survivors of significant trauma, and those suffering through anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship issues, and psychosis.
My approach to therapy draws heavily from Internal Family Systems therapy, somatic psychotherapy, attachment theory, neuroscience, mindfulness, Emotional Focused Therapy (couples), CBT/DBT. Central to my work is an understanding that trauma and stress are experienced within and from oppressive systems; and carried intergenerationally in our minds and bodies.
