My Approach
My approach is rooted in the belief that healing comes from the connection with yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. I support clients with complex trauma recovery, life transitions, people pleasing, relationships and attachment, anxiety, depression, and releasing beliefs and patterns that no longer serve you. I work toward creating an environment of grounded warmth, curiosity, creativity, and acceptance.
I draw from a mix of modalities including EMDR (trained through EMDRIA), internal family systems (level 1 trained), acceptance and commitment therapy, person-centered therapy, somatics, DBT, and narrative therapy. My work is centered within an anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and liberatory perspective. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming.
Together we can work toward fostering growth, resilience, healing and connection. We can collaboratively work to identify your strengths and goals, gain insight and awareness, and identify resources & practices to support your unique needs. I hope to create a space where you can try out new ways of relating to yourself and others, reconnect to the world around you and what brings you joy, and move towards releasing beliefs and patterns that are no longer serving you.
If you feel like we might be a good fit, feel free to reach out for a free 15 min consult.
