My Approach to Helping

I've worked hard to center my practice on well-researched techniques that have been shown to drastically decrease symptoms of PTSD and related diagnoses, whether a client's trauma comes from their family life, romantic relationships or degrading systems within our culture. As such, depending on the needs and mutually defined goals we create in session, I use EMDR, IFS, cognitive behavioral therapies and humanistic approaches in my sessions. In addition to working to heal trauma in particular, I can also help treat depression, anxiety and provide support for neurodivergence, such as autism and ADHD.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe we have a lot of work to do to create a more just and equitable society. The systems that have continued to perpetuate violence towards marginalized groups need to be dismantled in order for new and better systems to be created. And while I know that's easier said than done, I also believe that making a better world starts in our local communities, whether through collective advocacy via protests or by direct mutual aid work.
