Together we can really hone in on what it is you are wanting for yourself and finding a path forward, that best suites you. Often, the work is getting back in touch with your Self in a deeper way—like re-calibrating your inner compass. I am a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, certified Internal Family Systems therapist (level 3), AASECT certified Sex Therapist, certified EMDR therapist and certified NARM therapist. Somatic Sex Therapy certificate MSTI. A 2nd MA in Jungian psychology.
My specialty is working with trauma and sexual issues. I use mostly IFS (parts work), somatic work, EMDR, attachment work and Jungian approaches. I am also a clinical directer at Tink Tank Animate an autism center focused on expressive arts. I also offer sandtray therapy. Some availability for supervision for LLC/LLPC and EMDR consultation.
I am dedicated to providing an anti-oppression, social justice-oriented, feminist & body positive space. I am sex positive, LGBTQIA+ advocating, gender affirming, polyamory & kink affirming. Neurodiverse affirming. I am de-colonizing therapy, by preferring to not diagnose clients because of its historical roots in being used to oppress/ostracize people.

Somatic therapy is a body-based mindfulness approach. Sessions can look like guided mindfulness exercises to bring awareness of what is going on in the present moment internally. I often use IFS/parts work alongside somatic work. I may add in some EMDR, art therapy or sandtray work if the client is open to it. I offer sex therapy.
