My Background & Approach

My professional career has focused on supporting teens and adults after interpersonal violence including intimate partner violence, sexual assault, childhood neglect and abuse, and human trafficking. I also work with people who have caused harm interpersonally and seek to change those behavior patterns. I utilize a holistic lens, looking at the connection between the body, mind and spirit. Neurobiology and attachment theory are infused throughout my practice. I use an eclectic approach of modalities including cognitive-behavioral, meditation, writing, psychodrama, laughter, somatic, dance and internal family systems. I also use a lot of metaphors, dad jokes, and queer cultural references. Joy and connection should be just as important to the therapeutic space.
