I offer empowered and embodied therapy for folks seeking to transform challenges and distress into a catalyst for deep healing. My approach is warm, real, relatable, and comes with a sense of humor. I specialize in work with complex trauma, anxiety, grief, codependency, radical self-love, and self-acceptance. I am EMDR trained. Coming from a blended family that is White, Black, Latinx, and Jewish, I am committed to questioning identity dynamics, power, privilege, and positionality. I am dedicated to social justice and will support you in using your personal healing to work towards collective liberation and social change.
I work from a psychodynamic and somatic lens that combines talk therapy with mind-body inquiry and education about how the brain, body, and nervous system affect emotions. This work helps folks find tools to understand emotional processes and capacity to be with discomfort. As the body can be a source of pain and oppression, I hold this work with great care.
I welcome the opportunity to work with clients from different backgrounds and seek to maintain humility and sensitivity in work with clients who hold different identities such as race, gender, sexual orientation, culture, age, socioeconomic status, and ability status. Working alongside you is an honor and privilege I will treat with deep respect.
