The body keeps the score. I help trauma survivors live full, and connected lives. I have many years of experience working with survivors of intimate partner violence, sexual assault, as well as harmful, abusive, or neglectful childhood experiences. Trauma may impact your self-esteem, or create relationship issues, anxiety, alienation from the body, feelings of being disconnected from yourself and others. A central focus of my work has been supporting clients impacted by trauma without the lens of pathology. That’s to say: there’s nothing wrong with you at all. Your way of being in the world was developed as means of protection.
In therapy, we will investigate whether the ways you have learned to cope are still serving you. Many of my approaches to therapy are experiential and focused on using mindfulness to understand the lasting body impact of trauma. When we work in this way, your body and emotions become sources of wisdom and allies to the work of making change.
I offer compassionate and non-judgmental space to explore and understand your experiences. My practice is deeply connected with my values as an intersectional feminist and activist.
