About

My practice largely serves folks in the LGBTQIA+ community to address their unique needs, but all are welcome. A major focus of my work is Complex Trauma - supporting folks who have been through subtle or not-so-subtle physical, emotional, and sexual traumas or neglect. Emphasis is placed on how one’s childhood environment can shape adulthood patterns of behavior and relationships. We can work to uncover where these patterns came from, if they are serving you now, and how to shift them if they are not. I also work with folks on the Autism Spectrum, with a focus on the challenges facing those who were diagnosed after childhood. View 8 Photos As a movement therapist, I believe that our bodies are our greatest sources of knowledge and places of healing - giving us information about ourselves, our pasts, our needs, and how we truly want to engage with others. With combined use of the body, verbal psychotherapy, and therapeutic art-making, I will help you take that knowledge and put it into action.
