I see clients from an array of backgrounds with a diversity of issues. My approach is somatic and attachment based which is helpful in treating depression, trauma and anxiety. Additionally, my approach helps clients feel a new sense of safety, wholeness and connection to themselves and others. I work with Queer, trans and non binary folks and I also work from a social justice framework and practice an intersectional style to therapy.
Specialties
As a person who has a bachelor's degree in women's studies, I have a strong foundation on intersectionality and the importance of including social justice in my work.
I have extensive training in trauma-informed therapy and interventions. This may include psychoeducation (understanding how trauma works in the brain and body) as well as psychodynamic techniques and mindfulness practices.
Many client's I have worked with experience anxiety . From experiencing it in the body (symptoms) is how we usually first recognize it. I have vast training in methods to treat anxiety; including but not limited to: CBT, mindfulness and Hakomi method.
Many people seek therapy because they are struggling with some form of depression. I have strong clinical skills via my work as a crisis counselor as well as community mental health on assessing risk and coming up with a treatment plan that works for you (most importantly)! utilizing hakomi method, cbt and psychodynamic techniques depending on the needs of the individual.
