Hi there-
I specialize in working with trauma survivors who want to increase their sense of self-compassion and embodied sense of emotional safety. Clients who work with me typically report understanding themselves more fully, building healthier boundaries within themselves and with others. I enjoy working with adults from all walks of life including different religions, cultures and lived experiences including BIPOC, Therapists, Medical Professionals, 1st & 2nd Generation Immigrants, Survivors of Human Trafficking, Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse Survivors, LGBTQIA+, & Adult Children of Abusive Parents.
I use a blend of brain and body based techniques to help clients connect with their whole self. I use a highly relational approach meaning I utilize the container of therapy as a basis to safely experiment with new ways of being. Therapy is not a one size fits all. My goal is to collaborate with my clients to individualize what therapy can look like and how it can benefit them.
Although we will work together individually, I acknowledge the ways in which historical and present day systems of oppression impact your mental health. I honor and encourage ancestral wisdom and practices to incorporate in your healing journey.
Please feel free to send an email if you would like to further discuss the opportunity of working together. I offer free initial video consultations. If we end up not being a good fit, I’m happy to provide referrals for colleagues who may be able to help.
