Therapy
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing individual, couples and family psychotherapy. I work primarily with teens and adult women, queer, gender non-conforming, and trans identifying people.
My approach to holistic healing revolves around the use of body-mind awareness, trauma clearing using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and building inner resources for resilience. I begin treatment with an in-depth assessment. My strengths as a therapist lie in my capacity for deep listening, compassion, and seeing the best in people. All of you is welcome in the therapeutic relationship and all of you is worthy of compassion.
Through self-awareness we have the opportunity to bring all aspects of ourselves- the beautiful and the ugly- to light and to understand, accept and integrate them so that we feel whole. When we embrace the fullness of who we are, we create alignment with our highest potential. We can then operate out of a place of inner peace and integration, rather than inner war and dissociation.
