My Ideal Client

My clients are often LGBTQIA+ folks, neurodivergent folks, and people who’ve already done some therapy and are ready to go deeper. You might be dealing with trauma, addiction, neurodivergent burnout, anxiety, and crappy relationship patterns. You may understand yourself really well and still feel like something isn't clicking. If you're tired of managing the same stuff over and over and want to understand what's underneath it, we might be a good fit.

My Approach to Helping

I use EMDR, parts work, and somatic practices to help you work through experiences that your brain and body haven’t quite been able to let go of. Parts work gives us a way to understand the different sides of you. You likely have a part of you that wants to move forward, a part that gets scared and avoids, a part that criticizes you, and a part that keeps everything together leaving you utterly exhausted. Instead of trying to silence or get rid of these parts (likely you've already tried to no avail), we get curious about them and figure out what they’ve been trying to protect. EMDR helps process memories of experiences that continue to affect you in the present, while somatic work helps us pay attention to what’s happening in your body while we do it.

My Values as a Therapist

I understand that systemic oppression adds daily trauma to our lives and therapy shouldn’t add to that trauma, but it often does. I will continuously strive to honor and maintain a sacred space for you in counseling through a commitment to anti-colonial practices and cultural humility.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • EMDR External link

    I use EMDR for trauma and limited EMDR (called EMD or rEMDR) to help you move through traumatic events that may still be affecting your day-to-day. EMDR can also be used to help ease performance anxiety.

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) External link

    I use IFS so you can be Self-led, rather than led by anxiety, worry, and negative self-talk.

  • Attachment Theory External link

    Attachment underpins all of our relational experiences

  • Somatic Therapy (Body Centered) External link

    I use EMDR & IFS that are focused on somatic approaches

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • PTSD External link

    I specialize in PTSD and use evidence based treatment such as EMDR, IFS, and DBT.

  • Spirituality External link

    I specialize in IFS and EMDR which is deeply spiritual work. I also have my own spiritual practices and find a sense of spirituality to be a big boost to deeper healing.

  • Gender Identity External link

    As a non-binary therapist I’ve helped many clients navigate gender confusion and curiosity, as well as written letters for doctors concerning gender affirming medical procedures.

  • LGBTQ Issues External link

    I’m queer and non-binary and most of my clients are as well.
