Are you familiar with this term? It's often used to describe a person who has a deeper central nervous system sensitivity to emotional, physical, and/or social stimulation. Many individuals I work with tell me they've been told that they're "too sensitive" all of their lives. Being an HSP can significantly impact the way you move through the world--we can work on developing adaptive coping techniques to make it easier to tolerate distressing situations and empower you on your journey.

Healing from sexual violence can be an incredibly challenging road. I work closely with the LGBTQ+ community, which is experiencing an epidemic of sexual violence. For LGBTQ survivors, their very identities and the fear of discrimination can prevent them from seeking help and healing. I stand with you and am here as a resource to aid in therapeutic and trauma processing.

"Feminism is a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression"--(bell hooks). Feminist therapy is used as a lens to investigate and explore how society is built for white, cis-het (cisgender/heterosexual), assigned male at birth (AMAB) people and the subsequent ramifications and consequences for others who fall out of those parameters. Intersectionality, within feminism, looks at the way differing inequalities create intersecting discrimination and inequity.

What you think about impacts the way that you feel, and when you feel better, you act better (AKA more in alignment with your values). The behaviors that you engage in also impact how you feel. This is CBT in a nutshell. In this modality, we will look at the way that feelings, behaviors, and thoughts all interact with one another. We explore what you truly think about yourself and how you fit into the world--what you will discover may surprise you.

EMDR is at the forefront of trauma therapies. It's a modality that supports the body-mind in revealing/healing past trauma. Trauma can cause us to feel anxious, depressed, panicked, stuck, dissociated, and disconnected. When we feel this way day after day, our bodies often become fatigued due to over-working, which can cause negative coping mechanisms, isolation, and other challenges. EMDR helps us to unlock trauma stored deep in the body-mind and find relief and healing.
