I value keeping it real, humaning alongside other humans. I specialize working with women and teens and am passionate about helping them show up fully to their lives.
THERAPY WITH ME
-
NOTICE WITH CURIOSITY
My favorite question to begin sessions with is, “What’s your North Star?” Where are we going? What are your goals for our work together? We begin by noticing your pain points and meeting “feeling stuck'“ with curiosity.
-
CLARIFY VALUES + RECOGNIZE PATTERNS
We reflect on your values and figure out how to integrate those values into your goals. We recognize patterns and coping strategies that are no longer helpful, and we embrace the discomfort of trying different approaches.
-
PRACTICE CHOICE + EMBODIMENT
We practice values-aligned approaches and making informed decisions that empower you towards your goals. We pay attention to the emotions and sensations that come with making those changes.
APPROACH
TRAUMA-INFORMED
I use EMDR and talk therapy to address acute and complex trauma. EMDR is a neurobiological and somatic approach that addresses trauma where it resides, in the body and the brain.
RELATIONSHIPS
Our family, culture, and society shape how we relate to others and ourselves. When I work with relationships, I use EFT and PACT methods.
CULTURALLY-SENSITIVE
I am committed to learning how identities shape you and the relationship you have with those multi-hyphenate identities.
SOCIAL JUSTICE ORIENTED
Injustice leaves no room for silence. I actively oppose systems that limit people. I stand with LGBTQIA+ individuals and communities of color.
