About My Clients
Trauma can create a ripple effect on your life, spreading from what may logically 'just be a memory' to widespread impacts; hypervigilance , negative self beliefs, frequent anxiety or panic attacks, etc. I seek to provide a comfortable landing space to process through hard memories and begin the healing process. My ideal client is open (even hoping?) to use their imagination in the therapy space!
My Background and Approach
I have a diverse clinical background, including community and private practice work. In my community work I was focused on both family work and adults with severe mental and intellectual disabilities. In my private practice work, I deepened my clinical knowledge of trauma and neurodivergence, and began to integrate my overall approach as a therapist! I would say the guiding thread between all my therapy experiences is a desire to help people better connect with themselves. I really connect with therapy approaches that are grounding and strength focused, and I encourage a LOT of self talk. A LOT. You are your own greatest resource, and I find so much joy in helping people overcome traumatic memories and connect and care for themselves.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Given our current cultural and political climate I think it is important to share that I am a progressive leftist, with a strong belief in the importance of social justice. In my therapy approach I do encourage people to consider the impact of the system we live within, as it can both create and deepen the traumas we experience. I believe strongly in supporting my clients with their personal convictions as well :)
