I am committed to supporting folks to strengthen their mind-body connection and their self-regulation through therapeutic relationship. I am particularly interested in working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, identity development, relationship and family issues, and processing traumatic events. I aim to orient my practice towards empowerment and liberation. My clinical style balances compassion with directness. My practice is trauma-informed by Polyvagal, DBT, and feminist theories. Coming from this lens, session work is collaborative, and often involves verbal processing integrated with body based re-learning, as well as examining the impact of larger systems on your life experience. I incorporate behavioral skills-based work to help you make actionable changes. I find that DBT is even more helpful when we include the body and nervous system. When emotions start to feel like too much, we can turn to the body and notice the sensations underneath. I am currently working under the supervision of Michelle Metzler, LCMHC, while I complete my Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I believe clients have infinite capacity to heal, grow, and blossom in a supportive and non-judgemental space, where issues can be approached with curiosity and bravery. I take Medicaid and Self Pay at $75.
