APPROACH

TRAUMA-INFORMED

I use EMDR and talk therapy to address acute and complex trauma. EMDR is a neurobiological and somatic approach that addresses trauma where it resides, in the body and the brain.

RELATIONSHIPS

Our family, culture, and society shape how we relate to others and ourselves. When I work with relationships, I use EFT and PACT methods.

CULTURALLY-SENSITIVE

I am committed to learning how identities shape you and the relationship you have with those multi-hyphenate identities.

SOCIAL JUSTICE ORIENTED

Injustice leaves no room for silence. I actively oppose systems that limit people. I stand with LGBTQIA+ individuals and communities of color.
