About
Ever feel like existing is hard? Are you often interrupted and derailed by thoughts + images of the past? Tired of feeling at odds with your body and the world? Aware of self-defeating behaviors, but can't seem to change them? You may have had a late-in-life diagnosis, realized your gender or childhood weren’t what you thought they were. Perhaps you're burnt out, opening a relationship, or coming to terms with trauma. Wherever you’re at, you want long-lasting change, a holistic approach, satisfying relationships, and a Right-Fit Therapist. Someone who holds similar identities as you, listens fully, engages dynamically in session. I help individuals heal complex trauma and couples reconnect and problem solve. I specialize in helping folks who are neurodivergent, queer, trans, sensitive, seeking, or survivors by fusing Somatics, IFS and Attachment therapies. I use EFT for couples and specialize in consensual nonmonogamy and mixed-neurotype relationships. The most important factor in effective therapy is the therapeutic alliance so I know the importance of finding the Right-Fit for you. Therapy is a powerful and vulnerable journey that necessitates trust with the practitioner. Building that rapport is a strength of mine according to feedback from clients. Please reach out to explore if we might work together. Specialties: Every Mind-Body-Spirit System is unique, especially when it comes to the intersection of neurotype and trauma. I help clients parse out what is what and find integrative pathways to healing. I especially enjoy helping clients navigate all forms of relationship including the many non-monogamous structures. Client centered care is paramount. Credentials & Experience: I have 30 years of somatic experience, including training at the Center for Somatic Psychotherapy and CIIS's Somatic Psychology program - on eof the only somatic focused counseling programs in the world. I am a Certified ASD Clinical Specialist, and Complex Trauma Level II clinician in training.
"I use Somatics, IFS and psychodynamic approaches. Each session we'll experiment with custom ways to regulate your nervous system and emotions through body-based techniques. IFS will help you develop a dialogue with conflicting internal parts. Psychodynamics will help you understand how your early experiences impact your relationships today. The process is holistic to heal at the root of suffering."
