More about my approach
Putting principles before protocols, embracing the creative and relational dance of therapy while being guided and grounded by solid neurobiological frameworks.
Wondering if we're a good fit?
I am happy supporting therapists at every stage of their learning journey, from student interns to experienced and fully licensed clinicians looking to deepen their skillset. My teaching style is warm, human and highly interactive and collaborative. I honor the vulnerability of the learning curve and what it can bring up in us to challenge ourselves to grow clinically. I aim to meet you exactly where you are on your learning curve and tailor my approach to your learning style and needs.
Most of us don't get the education we need in graduate school to feel comfortable working with Complex Trauma, and it can be overwhelming and confusing to navigate all the different trainings and theories out there. My goal with my work is to deliver comprehensive, complex and deep education on neurobiology informed trauma therapy in a way that feels truly accessible, supportive and applicable. My favorite thing is supporting therapists in really understanding their own learning edges with this work, and providing integrative and focused support to fill those gaps.
​
I started out as a new therapist learning everything I could about Complex Attachment Trauma and bottom up modalities for healing. I knew I was drawn to more depth oriented, relationally grounded and experiential ways of processing trauma. This led me to discovering Somatic Therapy, parts work, AEDP, interpersonal neurobiology, Coherence Therapy and Memory Reconsolidation. I blend all of these frameworks in the way I work with clients and support clinicians in their learning.
​
Therapy is both an art and a science. As therapists we engage in a sacred, co-creative and relational dance with clients. I embrace a non-manualized, highly individualized and fluid approach to therapy which can still be guided and contained by strong neurobiological concepts and theoretical frameworks. My goal is for you to feel empowered to practice in a way that feels authentic and alive for you and makes room for the full individuality of you and your clients, while also feeling grounded and supported by solid principles of transformational change and brain-science.
