If difficult life experiences have left you feeling stuck, worried, hopeless, angry or overwhelmed, we can work together to bring change to your life. I specialize in working with people who have experienced interpersonal traumas (i.e., emotional, physical, sexual abuse, grief, etc.) and systemic traumas (i.e., racism, homophobia, sexism, etc.).
My first priority is building a trusting, safe relationship with you in a non-judgmental environment. I use cutting edge mind/body treatment modalities—rooted in trauma-informed care, social justice, attachment theory, neurobiology, and somatics—that empower you to understand your relationship patterns and why you think, feel, and behave the way you do.
Through curiosity, compassion, and empathy, I will support you in putting this understanding into action, cultivating specific tools and mind/body practices that get you unstuck and move you towards feeling more calm, grounded, and connected, and towards being in relationships that are mutually satisfying.
I’m trained in several mind/body trauma treatments including Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR, and I provide training and consultation to other therapists learning these modalities. I’ve also taught courses in MSW graduate programs, educating the next generation of therapists.
I have a lifelong commitment to transformation and change at all levels: institutional, interpersonal, and internal. Before transitioning to mental health work, I did social and economic justice work for 15 years with low-income, people of color, and immigrant communities through community and labor union organizing, policy and electoral work. In addition to providing psychotherapy, I also develop and provide trainings to social and economic justice organizations on trauma-informed organizing.
I send you ease, and I look forward to connecting with you!
