What's My Approach to Therapy?
I create a space where you're seen as a whole person, not just symptoms. My sessions are real, flexible, and trauma-informed, blending practical tools, somatic approaches, and honest human connection. I help clients navigate life's challenges, build resilience, and leave feeling empowered to handle both personal and systemic stress. I've always been drawn to helping people navigate the messy, hard parts of life. I've worked in inpatient psych units, community mental health, and telehealth with folx across the lifespan. My approach is trauma-informed, practical, and human, shaped by the understanding that therapy is political and about helping clients build tools to survive -- and thrive -- in this trauma factory we call life. If you want a therapist who's real, direct, and validating, we might click. I show up as a human, not a blank-slate robot. I might swear, fidget, or color in session if it's helpful. Sessions are collaborative -- you'll set the pace, and I'll bring curiosity, compassion, and practical tools. I love working with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and perinatal mental health. I love learning and trying new approaches that help my clients. I focus on trauma-informed care, somatic modalities, perinatal mental health, and approaches that support LGBTQIA+, neurodiverse, and BIPOC folx. For me, learning is about building practical strategies so clients can survive -- and resist -- the trauma factory that life throws at us, and leave therapy feeling more capable, grounded, and empowered.
