How I work

Here are some of the ways I practice psychotherapy.

• Psychodynamically oriented: we talk about the past and how it informs the present.

• Grounded in somatic practice: we check in with our bodies for important information, and support the body to help heal our minds.

• From a trauma-informed and social justice perspective: we consider how systems of oppression show up in our bodies and realities; we only work with the body at the speed of safety and trust.

• With a curiosity about each client’s particular gifts, sense of humor, and connection with spirituality: We’re all more than our crises, stuck places, and suffering. Lightness and light have a place in the therapy room, too.

What i offer

I work primarily with individual adult clients. I hold particular experience with and enjoyment in working with adults and women who experience symptoms of ADHD; clients who identify on the LGBTQ+ spectrum; first and second generation adult children of people who emigrated to the United States; members of families impacted by legacies of addiction and mental illness; and clients seeking to develop or heal their relationships with creativity, self-expression, and/or spirituality.

I also facilitate traditional interpersonal therapy groups and somatically-focused interpersonal therapy groups (where we may move our bodies and/or focus on the internal experiences of our bodies as part of our time together).
