Clinical Practice

I work with individuals (of all ages), couples, and families. My approach comes from a humanistic and systemic perspective, situating each person’s experiences within the context of family relationships and societal and cultural influences. I am particularly sensitive to identity as an intersection of many different areas of internalized and culturally maintained oppression. The messages received from family and society create, reinforce and maintain the ways people have been taught to see themselves and, as a result, are influential in the experience of distress internally and within relationships.  I prioritize attuning and collaborating with each client and often utilize playful and embodied approaches to interrupting the patterns that lead to sadness, confusion, anxiety, internal and relational conflict, hopelessness, and overall lack of ease and comfort in one’s own skin.

When it seems appropriate I may offer drama therapy approaches. Neuroscience shows us that some deep hurts and unmet needs are held in a part of our brain that processes emotion and experience without processing words, these interventions explore emotional history without relying solely on "talk therapy".
