I want to help you feel seen and understood. Let’s challenge the old stories you hold about yourself.
How I work
I offer trauma-informed, neuro-affirming therapy. I practice from an anti-oppressive lens, working to highlight your agency and control in the space.
My therapeutic style is compassionate and curious, especially when encountering internal contradictions. My firmly held affection for ambivalence welcomes all of the contradictory parts of you into the therapeutic space.
My work often blends together psychodynamic modalities - a style of therapy that is talk based and insight-oriented - with a somatic approach that highlights presence with whatever you are currently experiencing. I find that this approach works particularly well for people who intellectualize and have had therapeutic experiences in the past that leave them feeling like they have a lot of insight but no idea what to do with it.
My work highlights the importance of relationship: relationship with yourself, with important people in our life both past and present, with the world around us, and within the therapeutic space. I work from an understanding that healing comes when we have an opportunity to have a different experience, and I believe the therapeutic relationship can support a multitude of different experiences. To that end, I work to show up authentically in the space. I join you in this work as a human, open and aware, to help you feel less alone.
