Where Clinical Excellence Meets Holistic Healing

With nearly 15 years as a trauma therapist, I have witnessed the depths of tremendous heartache, loss, pain grief, confusion and loneliness. Alongside this, I have also witnessed the beautiful and transformative innate ability that humans have to heal. In this healing journey, I act as a supportive mirror acknowledging your own inner wisdom. Together, we learn to trust the pace of your process, celebrating growth and recovery of your agency, self-awareness and self-compassion along the way.

My Approach

I am committed to a strengths-based approach, honoring your unique perspective and experience. I honor the connection between mind and body and the complexity of intersecting identities. I approach our work with respect and spirit of collaboration and will bring curiosity, creativity and openness into each of our sessions. My approach combines:

• Advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS)

• Years of biodynamic energy work and somatic practice

• A non-pathologizing lens that honors your journey and is social justice informed

• Deep understanding of trauma and attachment patterns

• Clarity and insight grounded in my own personal experience of meditation and medicine work

• A profound commitment to holding space with both skill and heart

Specific Offerings

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) proposes that we have internal systems that develop different parts - some that we may have to exile because they carry a burden of pain or trauma, others that help us manage our relationships and how we are perceived in the world as well as some others that will do anything they can to help us avoid pain or distress. In building up our core Self energy and bringing this to these parts we can shift stuck patterns, unburden trauma and feel freed to live more optimally and in the present. I have found IFS to be profoundly transformative in how we relate to ourselves - leading to increases in self-compassion, self-understanding and less reactivity.

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a highly effective and safe treatment for working with unprocessed memories. EMDR is based in the understanding that when we don’t have an opportunity to adaptively process highly charged experiences we can get “stuck” in loops that then lead to future events being experienced in similarly charged ways. This approach can be incredibly helpful for folks who struggle with hypervigilance or negative core beliefs about themselves, others or the world.

• Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)  along with mindful movement and breath work can act as complements to talk therapy and support clients in building a positive connection between mind and body. We do this work with very careful pacing in ways that takes cues from the body, supporting safety in the experience of sensation and expression of movement.

• Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a powerful adjunct to some of the approaches mentioned above. KAP has been shown to be effective in supporting the therapy process especially for those who might feel stuck in core beliefs, struggle to obtain symptom reduction or haven’t been able to access change with other interventions. Clients who’ve experienced KAP report increased flexibility and openness, finding new ways to adapt, heal and make changes in their life. If you are interested please explore the KAP section in my website and don’t hesitate to reach out for a consult to discuss further.
