Part of the human experience is the ongoing search for safety. But what happens when we can’t find it? As a therapist, it’s my job to give you the language and tools to discover what safety means to you. I believe you are your own expert – I might be there to help navigate, but you are driving the car. I use attachment-focused, bottom-up approaches to support those with complex relational trauma, eating disorders, body image concerns, neurodivergence (especially autism and ADHD), chronic illness, and queer and/or trans identities. I will also often incorporate conversations about the harms of systemic oppression into our work.
I trust your process and what your system needs, which I hope will help you build trust in yourself. My approach is rooted in compassion and equity, drawing from relational-cultural, feminist, and humanistic frameworks to foster healing and autonomy in my clients. I am also EMDR trained and enthusiastic about its ability to encourage post-traumatic growth.
In therapy with me, I want your authentic self to feel welcome and affirmed. I am committed to creating a calming and supportive space for you to explore what it means to build security in your mind, body, and soul. I am honored to sit with you in the mess, and create a comforting space to feel it all.
