Have you talked about your traumas but are still struggling? Maybe you've already been to therapy but the same things are still bothering you. Have you been doing all the 'right things' and they aren't working? Sometimes just talking about our hurts isn't enough. We may need to access deeper parts of ourselves to heal traumatic experiences and be free. Once we do, we can release old emotions and patterns and move on to the more beautiful parts of life: joy, passion, purpose, and peace. During session, we will find ways to let your emotions and pain move through you and be released. Processing trauma this way helps clients feel more free and empowered.

Typically, I work with clients who are struggling after experiencing trauma, abuse, and neglect. We work on creating a safe environment first, then move on to deeply feeling emotions in order to heal. I often use experiential therapies in my practice. These are therapies that focus on how it feels to imagine or experience our beliefs and emotions, instead of just thinking about them. This could mean using guided imagery, imagining our childhood self, and feeling our emotions in our body.

I am a queer, pro-choice, anti-racist, feminist, and fat liberation therapist. My therapy practice is tailored to queer folx and women. If this sounds like the therapy practice for you, please email me!

I've worked with women and trauma survivors for 10 years now. I started in research, where we worked to develop programs to help mothers who had experienced domestic violence. Then, I spent two years working at a sexual assault/domestic violence non-profit where I was an advocate for survivors. For the last 5 years, I've been a therapist for women and queer folx who have survived sexual assault, domestic violence, and childhood trauma.
