I align with a non-pathologizing approach to therapy. This means that I view “symptoms” as traits or behaviors that our minds and bodies have adopted to protect us from further harm.
During traumatic experiences, often parts of ourself dissociate the mind from the body as a form of protection. While this helps us to survive in the moment, dissociation can happen long after the trauma has ended, keeping us out of the present moment, activating feelings from the past.
I’m an eclectic therapist, meaning I pull from more than one modality and collaborate with you to determine what fits based on your values and goals. I am trained in EMDR, and am drawn towards working with Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness. As a part of my personal and professional practice, I always strive to prioritize advocacy, social justice, and viewing trauma through a systemic, queer, and feminist lens.
Special areas of focus:
-Trauma, C-PTSD, Dissociation
-Neurodivergence and curiosity around adult Autism/ADHD
-Sober curiosity
-LGBTQIA+ issues
-Sex positivity & shame recovery
-Religious and high-control group trauma recovery
