Something led you to explore therapy. Maybe you’ve experienced trauma or other challenging life experiences, repeatedly encounter the same roadblocks and patterns in your relationships, or struggle to live with overwhelming emotions. Maybe you're not sure where to start, but you know you don't want to do it alone.
I support clients in working through past experiences to come to a place of increased steadiness. I believe that you already have what you need to heal, that your body and its signals are telling the truth, and that we all have an immense capacity for change and healing. My job is to offer a container that feels like both a refuge and a safe-enough space to go to hard places. My hope is that you walk away feeling that you not only understand your past intellectually, but feel a deeper, more integrated sense of resolution and self-trust.
If any of these themes resonate with you, we may be a good fit:
-
Traumatic and other challenging life experiences can overwhelm us and keep us feeling stuck and fragmented. I have a deep respect for the ways in which you’ve learned to survive following some of the hardest moments of your life. We can work together to build an inner sense of safety that will allow us to gently approach painful memories and move towards integration.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a modality that integrates thoughts, emotions, and body sensations to support integration of trauma and other challenging mental and emotional health symptoms. I have pursued advanced training in EMDR, including specialized protocols for prolonged and ongoing traumatic stress, and am currently pursuing certification. Feel free to reach out to learn more!

So often we can feel that our minds and bodies are separate, or that our bodies are the enemy for how they look or for the overwhelming sensations they produce. Sometimes we can conceptually understand our trauma, but the body feels numb or far away. Grounded in both formal neuroscience research as well as experiential discovery, we can work together to strengthen your contact with and trust in your body’s signals.

Therapy can be a fantastic space to explore sexuality and gender identity, and these themes are some of my personal favorite to dig into in sessions. May our time together move you to a deeper connection with and understanding of yourself.
