About My Clients
I specialize in working with teens and adults around trauma and more severe symptoms of anxiety and depression including OCD. My clients tend to be complex and have struggled to feel safe or like they fit in. Many of my clients are from marginalized spaces who are looking to heal trauma, have better relationships, learn to cope with emotions, have gender affirming care, get assessed for neurodivergence, and more. I believe you're more than good enough, you're lovable, and deserving of support.
My Background and Approach
My background is trauma based with a mind/body connection. I use different types of techniques to help you get grounded and work through issues such as anxiety, depression, self harm, and PTSD. I'm trained in EMDR to help people process trauma and gain control over upsetting memories, and find EMDR to be helpful for other issues as well. I also believe attachment is extremely important when working through trauma, relationship concerns, and navigating life and I utilize DBT, IFS and somatic based tools to heal the root of the issues. I am also trained in assessment and diagnosis of ADHD and Autism in adults and can provide documentation needed. I help folks with gender affirming letters for procedures if they are a client of mine using the WPATH standards. We’ll work collaboratively to design a treatment plan that works for you in a safe and nonjudgemental space. Every person is unique and therefore every treatment plan is individualized to the person and their uniqueness.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I'm a lifelong student of the human brain and how trauma impacts the body and mind. I bring a lot of trauma therapy interventions into my work and believe safety and validation are very important to successful therapy. As a child, I suffered from my own traumas and issues and through my own therapy, I learned meaningful skills that helped me take back control. I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. Events happened and you adapted and coped the best you could with certain unhealthy behaviors. You're fighting and deeply strong, which means we can change those behaviors that no longer serve you and replace them with healthy ones. I don't discriminate against anyone and pride myself in cultural sensitivity and inclusion. I make it a point to participate in marches and community actions that support the LGBTQ community, BLM, and women's rights.
