I love supporting my clients in discovering the brightest versions of themselves. I strive to be a grounding presence, offering strengths-based insight in a consistent, nurturing, and nourishing space where you can stretch, grow, and thrive. My trauma-informed clinical work also names the heavy impact of the systems at play in our lives - racism, white supremacy, colonization, capitalism, patriarchy, anti-queerness, anti-fatness and ableism must be acknowledged as complex and enduring influences on our institutions and therefore on our individual and collective healing. Using a client-centered, body-neutral approach, I incorporate solutions-focused therapies, systems theories, IFS/Somatic Parts Work, and mindfulness and meditative techniques. I work with clients on issues of living with marginalized identities, trauma occurring at all ages, parenting, grief and loss, adult neurodivergence, gender and sexuality, family estrangement, addiction, stigmatized mental health diagnoses, relationship challenges, and much more. I invite you to reach out to me if this kind of work feels like a fit for you.
