Clients I Work With
If you've experienced dysfunction in your upbringing, it's normal to experience chronic shame, interpersonal patterns like people pleasing or attachment difficulties, dysregulation such as dissociation or reactivity, unwanted coping strategies, being “self-aware” while still stuck, and dissonance between what is rationally known and what feels emotionally true.
Let's understand how these symptoms make sense for you on a deep and personal level, and work with them instead of against them. I work with adults across the lifespan and offer specialized care for LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent clients.
Approach
Insight alone usually doesn’t lead to lasting change. My approach integrates depth-oriented styles of therapy including Coherence Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Ego State Therapy with relational safety at the core. Instead of traditional talk therapy, where you stay in your head, we'll explore on an embodied level to access your inner world, using the neurobiological process of memory reconsolidation to get to the root of the problems and then actually do something about them. Because I use experiential methods, where we focus on tuning in to what’s under the surface and bringing it out to work with, we’re able to tailor our sessions together for what feels best for your style of thinking or being. My hope is that therapy with me will allow your past to be gently untangled and finally left behind.
Beliefs & Lived Experience
As a queer-identified, neuro-affirming therapist, I prioritize understanding and accommodating your unique needs both in and out of the therapy room. I'm grounded in a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive framework that trusts your lived experiences; consent, collaboration, and authenticity will be central to our work together. I bring a down-to-earth presence and a lot of warmth while also being direct. Because complex trauma happens within a relational experience, healing from it also generally happens within a relational experience (I take this really seriously).
I'm an AI-free provider, reflecting my personal and professional values.
More About My Practice
I especially love to work with those who’ve struggled to make progress in therapy before, intellectualizers or those who feel as if they’re “too self-aware”, people who have a hard time with vulnerability, neurodivergent folks, the LGBTQIA+ community, and other therapists.
I am in the process of paneling with several insurances (Providence, Moda, Aetna, Regence BCBS, and Optum/United).
