Message to clients:
I am a queer, white, cisgender woman. I am passionate about a holistic and integrative way of therapy, looking at a person for all they are. I am dedicated to an anti-oppressive, antiracist, trauma-informed approach. I believe in radical self-love, authenticity, and self-acceptance.
I specialize in supporting adults with complex trauma and experiences of abuse, addiction, relationship difficulties, family conflict, low self-esteem/body image, women’s issues, and LGBTQIA+ identity issues. You may be experiencing high stress and unsure how to manage it. You may be seeking to learn more about yourself and find ways to reconnect with yourself, explore your relationship dynamics with others, or find more ways to cope.
Therapy with me feels like exploring together & uncovering parts of yourself, collaboratively seeking self-acceptance, love, and reconnection with these parts, and finding healing from life’s experiences to discover a more grounded sense of self.
In therapy, we will explore more than just your mental health, like your spirituality, nutrition, exercise, sleep habits, social/work-life balance, childhood, connection to self, or daily stressors. We are all nuanced, unique, intersectional, and multilayered living beings. I lead with nonjudgment, walking alongside you, believing every human has autonomy over their bodies and lives.
I support and meet my therapy participants in the present moment and find it useful to bring awareness to the body and breath while maintaining an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed approach.
My therapy participants are experts in themselves, and my role is to support you in discovering self-love, tuning into yourself, and accessing your intrinsic wisdom and inherent self-worth. It is an honor for me to hold space for you so that you can re-connect to your true Self.
I have a three-year clinical mental health counseling degree specializing in holistic studies from Lesley University. I am actively working toward my hours for licensure (Licensed Mental Health Counselor LMHC) by 2026. For the past two years, I have supported adult women with lived experience in the commercial sex trade and its associated exploitation.
I have training in various theories and calibrate my approach based on your needs each session. Techniques I use include mindfulness-based therapy, culturally sensitive therapy, internal family systems, polyvagal theory, existential therapy, feminist therapy, gestalt therapy, humanistic therapy, motivational interviewing, person-centered (Rogerian), attachment theory, co-dependency theory, acceptance and commitment therapy, and psychodynamic therapy.
On a more personal and less serious note, I enjoy playing with my cat, Fitz, who may make special appearances in session, moving my body through running, yoga, Pilates, and weightlifting, cooking new Pinterest recipes, spending time outdoors preferably in the mountains or at the beach), traveling new places, thrifting, and connecting with fellow humans.
My therapy participants appreciate that I am collaborative, laid-back, authentic, kind, respectful, and understanding. If you’re ready to learn about yourself, reach out. I’m here for you and excited to support you!
