I love working with clients who ask for help healing from complex and relational trauma in order to move through the world with more awareness, ease, and connection–to endure less personal suffering and disconnection. This includes childhood abuse and domestic violence alongside generational, historical, and racial trauma, and the trauma that results from systemic oppression. I get excited about working with folks who seek deeper understanding of themselves in context of the systems in which they exist. Finally, an “ideal” client would be one who is open to utilizing expressive, somatic, and imagery work.

My orientation is relational-cultural: I help clients understand themselves through their relationships with individuals, systems, and power dynamics. I offer an experience of secure attachment to help clients internalize what it feels like to be seen and cared for. I offer polyvagal, somatic, and expressive interventions in service of this goal.

More than anything, I want clients to know that I will hear and witness them, no matter how angry, how despairing, how upset, how silent they show up in sessions. I can’t fix systems and I don’t believe in fixing people, but I can be their companion as we struggle together. I also know from my own profound loss and grief that healing isn’t linear.
