Integrative Therapy
Our process will be collaborative. My approach to therapy is integrative, trauma-informed, and somatic (body-oriented) — drawing from different psychotherapy modalities unique to clients’ needs.
In our time together, I hope to create a non-pathologizing space of safety, warmth, openness, and curiosity, so that you may explore the challenges you have been facing, and experience movement toward well-being. I work from an anti-oppressive framework and am affirming of all gender identities and expressions, sexual orientations, races, and ethnicities. I support adults and adolescents in exploring and navigating grief, trauma, emotional regulation, anxiety, depression, interpersonal challenges, and self understanding.
Incorporating Art Therapy into sessions can help with the exploration and expression of emotions and inner experiences.
Liberation Oriented,
Anti-Oppressive Care
I am responsive to how broader systems impact clients’ experiences of feeling unheard, marginalized, or disempowered. Dominant models of psychology have often, both directly and indirectly, “served to strengthen oppressive structures by shifting focus away from those structures and toward individual factors” (Ignacio Martín-Baró, Writings for a Liberation Psychology, 1994). I am committed to examining the systems I work within and engaging in ongoing liberatory-oriented trainings.
