About My Clients
In addition to trauma (including abuse, intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and traumatic loss), I also enjoy working with people who want to address family of origin and attachment concerns, queer and gender-diverse identity, alcohol and other drug use, eating and body image, and new or chronic health conditions.
My Background and Approach
I graduated with my MSW from the University of Montana in 2022. During my MSW program, I worked at a child advocacy center, and at UM's Student Advocacy Resource Center (SARC). After graduating with my MSW, I completed a two-year fellowship in Clinical Social Work at UC Berkeley's counseling center, where I was part of their modified Intensive Outpatient Program (mIOP). I believe in relationships as a healing force. As bell hooks said, "rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion." I hold our relationship with great reverence as we process and make meaning from our experiences together.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I approach therapy from a trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive framework; I understand that we are all impacted by our intersecting identities and the environments that shape us, and that our identities and environments grant us relative privileges.
