In my solo private practice, I focus on working with adults ages 25+ that struggle primarily with emotional neglect/relational wounds, including impacts of religious/spiritual trauma, generalized anxiety, depression, PTSD/CPTSD, and navigating life transitions. Many of my clients are also queer and/or neurodivergent. I have worked with people who have complex and co-occurring diagnoses, including struggles with dissociation. I primarily use EMDR and EF(I)T-based talk therapy with interventions from several other modalities (MI, CBT, SFBT, IFS, etc.). I have specialized training in trauma treatment, including EMDR and TF-CBT. 

My experience:

Prior to private practice, I provided therapy in community mental health agencies, in schools, and on an outpatient and intensive outpatient basis for a hospital. I worked with children, teens, and families. I have experience working on integrated health care teams, including communicating and coordinating care with primary care doctors, nutritionists, case managers, and psychiatrists. I also have experience coordinating services with school staff, including teachers, administration, speech therapists, I/DD specialists, and aides. Due to this work, I have experience in crisis assessment (suicide and threat/risk assessment) and navigating mandated reporting and child protective services. I have training and experience working with survivors of domestic/interpersonal violence, and believe that basic training in the dynamics of power and control is absolutely essential to all therapists.

As an out lesbian, I often serve those in the LGBTQIA+ community, and have experience navigating care as a queer therapist. I am committed to ongoing anti-oppression work, including continually engaging in my own anti-racism work. My clients, and my supervisees, find value in my ability to identify social systems that impact their functioning and wellbeing. My style is a tailored balance between direct guidance and creating space for you to identify what you need out of supervision. I have been described as attentive and energetic, with an ability to see you as a whole person. I focus on strengths, skill building, and helping you to learn how to navigate and feel confident making your own clinical decisions.
