About My Clients
Do you struggle with big feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, or disconnecting that are the result of chronic stress, or something harmful that flipped over your world? Do you have so much held in but don't know how to feel it safely? I work a lot with folks who are great at being strong for others but maybe need a supportive space to be vulnerable - Let's work together to increase safety in your relationship to yourself & your emotions, learning how to respond to yourself with compassion+care
My Background and Approach
Trauma can teach us so much about parts of ourselves that need protection & parts that need more space to be seen, we can do both in our work together. Sometimes we will be processing the hard stuff, and sometimes we will be focused on unblocking inner resources so that the best parts of you can step forward. Whether something just happened or you're wanting to work on longterm patterns, I'd love to work with you. I use approaches such as self compassion, acceptance, "both/and" thinking & parts language, mindfulness, body connection, & anti-oppressive practices to support you in safely feeling all the emotions that are coming up & respond with care instead of pushing them away. I am trained in EMDR, Trauma Focused ACT, the Collaborative Change model, and am currently working on my Integrative Somatic Trauma Certificate. Most importantly- we will work to identify what works best for you. Therapy isn't one size fits all, your unique needs matter! Self-pay/ HSA/FSA/OON, and COAccess
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am dedicated to creating a safe non-judgmental space where we truly meet you where you are at. That means you are allowed to have your feelings here. You don't have to sugarcoat them or filter them -you can be a human. I'll show up as my human self with you. We may add in things like sensory tools, imagery, pacing, & whatever flexibility we need to create safety for your emotions to be here. We will acknowledge that oftentimes what you are feeling is a natural response to what has happened or what you're living through. We can talk about how this world & it's systems impact your mental health. We can talk about how to access more belonging and community care. I identify as queer and mixed race, first gen on one side and am a trauma & cancer survivor myself. I bring these as well as other lived experiences into my work but you are the expert of your experience no matter how many lens we share. When we work together you will be treated as a complex human & can show up as you are
