About

I work collaboratively and transparently, using your preferences and my observations, to present options for treatment. I examine issues from multiple angles—using your stories, relationships, history, strengths, body, or contexts as starting points. I may suggest Narrative Therapy to guide you in uncovering and changing self-sabotaging stories, or Motivational Interviewing to explore feelings of ambivalence. If you are working on trauma or emotional regulation I may draw on Polyvagal Theory, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Mindfulness, visualizations, or breath work. When working on relationship issues with clients I often use Attachment Theory, Imago Relationship Therapy, or Emotionally Focused Therapy to support communication and security. If you are addressing issues related to systemic problems such as sexism, racism, ableism, police violence, or climate change I employ the theories found in Roberto Freire’s Somatherapy and in Feminist Therapy.
I offer a client-centered and accepting space to talk about ambivalence, struggle, and trauma. In individual work I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, depression, poor self-image, and gender identity issues. In relationship therapy I specialize in working with infidelity, consensual non-monogamy, polyamory, parenting, communication, and intimacy and sexual difficulties.
