Specialties: Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, LGBTQIA+, Addiction,

Introduction

Wherever you are beginning, I hope to meet you there. I work with adults and adolescents, people in all stages of addiction recovery (12 step and harm reduction), LGBTQ+ folks, and creatives. My speciality areas include: depression, anxiety, dissociation, PTSD and complex trauma, substance abuse, identity exploration, relationship dynamics, and family of origin healing. I am influenced by Internal Family Systems (IFS); feminist, queer and postmodern theories; attachment theory; psychodynamic theory; polyvagal theory (PVT); and mindfulness. During a session, I may draw in various tools and perspectives from each of these modalities. In addition, my training as an Art Therapist means we can integrate various other forms of creative work.
