Intertwining facets of depth Psychology, soul-centric, and trauma-informed practices, I see myself as an advocate for personal and inter-personal evolution in relationship to ourselves, others and the universe. Exploring the mind-body-spirit and soul, I have the fortunate job of a loyal guide; one who will walk sometimes beside and sometimes behind you, through all of your experiences - however painful and dark they may be - offering skills, tools and support along the way.
I approach psychological work as a holistic journey to be navigated as a team. Together, you and I will name and feel into what is happening, design the best ways to navigate the territory, and discover the natural buoyancy of your deepest, most clear, calm, knowing and wise, whole Self along the way. I absolutely believe that it is through uncovering who we really, really are, beyond the woundings of ancestry and childhood, and cultivating the audacity to radically accept what we discover, that the expression of our unique aliveness can surface.
My focuses in Psychological practice include: gender creative youth and their families, partnership, family dynamics, developmental, acute, and inter-generational trauma, the neurobiology of trauma and re-integration, post-traumatic stress, allyship with communities who face discrimination and prejudice, adolescence and rights of passage into adulthood, creating sacred personal ritual and yogic practice for emotional intelligence, balance, awareness, wellness and healing.
I have worked with adolescents in a residential treatment facility teaching emotional regulation skills through Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I have been trained in the following psychotherapeutic methods: Hakomi, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), Attachment, and Sensory Experiencing (SE).
I welcome and affirm all forms of diversity. I fervently celebrate what makes you uniquely who you are.
