Bio
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to read about me. I am a therapist and supervisor looking to help my clients, peers, and people I interact with recognize the strength they carry.Therapy is political, no matter how you spin it. The systems we are part of whether by choice or by force impact our mental health ina variety of ways. My practice involves many different modalities that I use with the intention of giving those I work with the ability to notice their liberation is possible. I am trained in EMDR, and am currently a student of Somatic Experiencing, two methods of therapy that can be utilized to assist in trauma healing or to work toward a better understanding of the mind/body/spirit connection. Sometimes this looks like dismantling personal or societal beliefs about oneself to better understand where these beliefs impact your life, and the way you exist in the world. While trauma therapy is where my passion lies, I really enjoy guiding therapy participants with various needs to learn coping skills and develop a greater understanding of themselves.
My goal within the therapeutic relationship is to guide you to becoming attuned to your own nervous system in a way that helps you learn about how you navigate the world, and how to be an active participant in your life. In addition, I hope to help you learn to regulate your system giving you skills for life long healing.
Below are my current credentials which are often shifting and growing as learning about the psyche, humanity, and connection are what keep me grounded in this work.
Master of science in clinical mental health counseling
Licensed professional counselor- supervisor
EMDR trained
SE student- year 2 of 3
