Welcome! I am a trauma therapist with specialty training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR. I am collaborative, feminist, culturally engaged, and LGBTQIA+ affirming. I also work with adults with neurodiversity including giftedness and ADHD. Together, we can develop your capacity not only to feel better, but to be healthier. Understanding yourself is a powerful source of transformation and development. I work with people to generate deep insight but also to create a new way of being and feeling in the world. For these purposes, I often incorporate both experiential and mind/brain/body therapies.
People often describe me as open, calming, empathic, and fearless. I comfortably treat adults across the lifespan, including graduate and college students, Millennials, Gen X, and retirees with trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, OCD, and self-esteem issues. I have specialty working with people with a history of narcissistic abuse, cPTSD, and dissociation.
I also use my graduate training in neuroscience to understand the brain/mind/body connection. People find this perspective particularly helpful in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, and sleep. Note: I prefer initial contact through email.
