I work from a humanistic perspective. To me, this means: people are inherently good and try their best while developing protective ways of navigating through life that may not serve them when they aim to thrive and not just survive.

​

I welcome folks as you are, however you identify, orient and present.

I am sex/kink positive, body positive, LGBTQQ2SIA+ affirming,
and work with people in relationships of varying romantic and intimate structures.

I work from an anti-oppressive, anti-black racism, feminist and systems perspectives that inform how larger and smaller systems and ways of being, weave together to shape our experiences.

​

• I am trauma informed

• use an Attachment Theory lens

• trained in EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy),

• along with parts work frameworks

  •  informed by IFS (Internal Family Systems)

  • and Structural Dissociation Theory.

 

I focus on engaging in non-talk therapy practices through:

• Structural Dissociation (Parts work)

• EMDR (Eye Motion Desensitizing Reprocessing) 

• DBR (Deep Brain Re-Orienting)

I am trained in all three of these modalities beyond introductory training modules and continue to enhance my skillset here by focusing on ongoing trainings and continued supervision.

​Combined with some talk therapy, these modalities can help people move beyond managing their day to day experiences to resolving past unprocessed content
