I am a psychodynamic integrative therapist. I am of the firm belief that there is no single approach that can treat each client in all situations. I work relationally with clients, utilizing process work and narrative therapy for healing.
My passion is working with clients from unique backgrounds and/or experiences, often of which contact me because they want to work on or through complex trauma, such as oppression based and/or inter-generational trauma. Modalities used addresses the concerns of those whose race, ethnicity, gender identification, income, disability/accessability, and other social factors which often go unrecognized/disavowed. Issues that arise for minority groups, such as oppression, racism, and marginalization, are relevant, recognized, validated, safely contained, and honored by me.
My approach is warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental, and I utilize (and welcome!) humor as a part of the healing process. I focus on mindfulness, body awareness and attunement, and helping you develop a sense of deep care for yourself and your life. You'll be supported with a variety of tools to assist you in developing conscious relationships with your loved ones and yourself. Depending on what works for you, these may include parts work, guided imagery, Gestalt practices, working with dreams, writing, and creating art.
I am deeply committed to helping people create the most fulfilling lives possible, validating their unique experiences.
