About My Clients
I enjoy working with individuals and couples of all types navigating childhood trauma and attachment wounds. My niche is supporting neurodivergent individuals and their relationships. Masking or just managing the expectations of a neurotypical world can be exhausting and damaging. I offer a neurodiversity-affirming approach.
My Background and Approach
When clients can more easily identify and attune to their emotions, they are more present and engaged in their lives and able to form more meaningful connections. I help clients reconnect with their bodies and experience the interconnection of their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. My therapeutic approach is grounded in the mind-body connection and draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Gestalt approaches, along with somatic practices.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe all individuals inherently possess the wisdom necessary to heal. I hold space for my clients to get curious about their internal world and have seen that the hardest parts to look at often have the most to teach us. Frequently, what have historically been viewed as symptoms (or named as problems) are actually parts that are attempting to keep the Self safe. These parts might be operating off of outdated or misguided information. Through slowing and spending time with these parts they are able to feel safe and secure, and update their understanding of the individual’s needs. And in turn, as clients begin to see their struggles as adaptive responses to life's challenges, they are able to cultivate more self-compassion, understanding, and, ultimately, self-love. In order to create a safe space, I am deeply committed to social justice practices. I use an anti-oppressive framework in all of my client interactions.
