If you experienced sexual violence in the state of PA, ask me about ways to help cover your costs. I use a relational and feminist framework to help clients understand how our relationships and society affect our healing and connections. I have experience treating those with complex trauma, anxiety/depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. I've worked extensively with survivors of sexual/gender-based violence, C/PTSD, workplace harassment, and those with re-traumatizing legal experiences. I'm proficient in working with those in sex work, the LGBTQIA+ community, and those exploring late-diagnosis neurodivergence.
I'm a certified EMDR therapist, certified sexual assault counselor, and currently pursuing sex therapy certification. I use IFS/parts work, Gestalt techniques, yoga, expressive arts, and somatic therapy. I feel strongly about incorporating information from books, podcasts, and social media, so feel free to send me those TikTok's you've been learning from!
I'm a human in the world who also happens to be trained as a therapist – I place a lot of value on being an expressive therapist who fosters genuine reactions in my clients as well. I will validate you and believe in you unconditionally, but I will also hold you accountable in the most gentle way possible. Let's see what we can get done together.
