I believe that the complexities of our lives lead us to carry stress and trauma in our bodies well beyond when those experiences happen to us. By using a combination of EMDR, somatic (body-focused) work, and internal family systems (parts work), I aim to let you control your life instead of your past.
You already possess the inner resources necessary for healing. My role is to support you in uncovering and harnessing these qualities. We all develop different strategies to handle challenges and stress, but not all of them are healthy. I want to help you identify which pieces of your strategy are serving you well, and which might be holding you back.
I have three years of experience working as a psychedelic-assisted facilitator at Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research, and can provide continuing care for individuals who have received psychedelic-assisted therapy through a study and/or research setting. Please feel free to reach out to me if I seem like the right fit for you!

My main style of therapy is called Internal Family Systems (IFS), also sometimes known as "parts work" or "inner child work." IFS views you as someone with various, complex parts to you, often with conflicting needs. Together, we will create a plan to identify each part of you and to find out how your parts need to be cared for.
