Areas of focus
Much of my work is with adults navigating the impact of complex and developmental trauma, as well as the impacts of acute traumas. Individuals drawn to my practice are often working to heal from childhood abuse and neglect, sexual violence, intimate partner abuse or domestic violence, hate crimes, and other forms of oppression. I utilize a social justice-oriented framework, systemic perspective and intersectional approach in my work with Clients. I am a somatic therapist and incorporate understanding of research in the trauma field focused in neurophysiological impacts of trauma, including intergenerational and gestational trauma. Further, I understand the trauma of oppression and how it can shape the ways we move our bodies through the world. I utilize practices from Gestalt, Hakomi, and EMDR Therapy. Additionally, I incorporate nature-based therapy, experiential therapy, and mindfulness practices.
