My Ideal Client

I know that you’d like to be fully yourself, in deep connection with others and aligned with your highest sense of purpose and wellbeing. Unfortunately, traumas, relational and societal harms keep us frozen, isolated, and unseen, without compassionate spaces to melt, connect and be witnessed. I believe we can recover and develop new relationships with ourselves and others by committing to a process of uncovering and communicating about what has happened to us, and who we are.

What I Specialize In

1. Trauma Therapy & EMDR: Focused psychotherapy to address traumatic life events, experiences and relational patterns occurring throughout the lifespan, utilizing EMDR and other evidence based practices. 2. LGBTQIA+ & Women's Health Care: Comprehensive, respectful care for cisgender women, gender diverse, gender expansive and LGBTQIA+ identifying individuals, supporting embodiment through a feminist and queer lens. Inclusive of letters of readiness for gender affirming care, reproductive health, fertility, and navigating identity based harms. 3. Therapy For Mental Health Professionals: Insight oriented witnessing and attuned support for psychotherapists and other mental health professionals.

Why I am a Good Fit for You

I focus on facilitating insight into self, relationships, early-life attachments, and formative experiences including traumatic events. I draw on a variety of practices, including EMDR, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy and an integrative focus on relationship skills, emotions and emotional processing. I am a white, queer, small-fat, cisgender femme. During our therapy work, I invite us to explore together through a lens of feminist liberation psychology, in which we identify and work to understand yourself and your experiences within a context of personal, familial, and historical culture, location, and systems of oppression. I will also strive to identify and account for my own context, identities and how this shows up within the therapy space. Embedded within my psychotherapy work is a desire to facilitate connection with our highest and most loving selves, with love for us, our people, nature, the future and the world.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • EMDR External link

    I am trained in a type of somatic therapy called EMDR. This therapy was initially developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro and designed to treat symptoms of traumatic stress and traumatic life events. EMDR utilizes identification of life experiences that cause us present day distress and processes the present emotions, bodily sensations, and memories using bilateral stimulation.

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • LGBTQ Issues External link

    Issues may include support with coming out, needs around social and medical transition, resiliency as an LGBTQIA+ person in work/school settings, within family, culture or society. Exploration of gender presentation, understanding sexuality, attraction and desire, sexual health and navigating an affirming and joyful sex life. Support with LGBTQIA+ family building, infertility, navigating medical systems, addressing internalized negative messaging. Assessments for gender affirming medical care.

  • Women's Issues External link

    Issues of physical and reproductive health across the lifespan, chronic pain or health conditions, sexual health, fertility, as well as perinatal to postpartum health. Disparities in domestic/emotional labor in relationships or workplace, issues of equity, how different parts of identity intersect and how to respond to stressors. Experiences with modern dating, pursuit of loving partners, expression of your multifaceted needs. How your mental, physical, and spiritual health intersect.

  • PTSD External link

    I specialize in the treatment of traumatic events and adverse experiences that have occurred at any stage of life. I have a particular specialty in working with people to address sexual trauma. I have training in several evidence based treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder, including Cognitive Processing Therapy and EMDR. I trust and respect that you and your body know that you have been through something and I have an expansive view of what trauma can look like and how we are impacted.
