Our services
Talk and Relational Therapy
In talk and relational therapy, clients set goals to work toward at their own pace in a therapy structure that is more casual. This approach allows for more focus on the present and in the here and now of issues clients want to discuss.
This approach includes naming, and often times, challenging patterns in the ways clients manage issues in life like stress, relationships and in maneuvering through emotions arising from day to day experiences. Other focuses in sessions utilize the counselor and client relationship to encourage areas of trust, communication, and connections that can help facilitate learning more about how to cope with thoughts and feelings.
You do not need to know all the parts you want to work on to start therapy and the right time is now. I will support you as you heal and work on the past in the present to have a more fulfilled and hopeful future.
Trauma Therapy
This therapy structure facilitates clients in setting goals to manage the impact of past or recent trauma, loss, and grief. I am passionate about my client’s journeys in healing from trauma, such as sexual violence and domestic violence at any point in their lives. Other traumas include racial, intergenerational, and complex experiences that have impacted the mind and body. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocess Therapy (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for more structured modalities to process trauma and manage + reduce symptoms.
Whether it happened to you or you heard/saw it happen to a loved one, the impact of trauma and violence can leave you gasping for air as you try to move on from it. Remember, it is not a competition on who has it worse. If you are struggling to catch your breath at two feet of water or twenty, you're struggling. And it is okay to admit that you need help without making comparisons.
Life Coaching
We are excited to offer Life Coaching sessions for people who want to supplement their therapy work, get specific skills training, and or have an accountability partner to help them towards their goals. Together we will clarify your mission, set goals, and delineate steps to get you to your best outcomes! Whether it's personal goals or professional, coaching will give you support, strategy, and energy to get you where you want to be.
Therapy with Me:
My goal is to collaborate with clients to reclaim their lives through talk and connection as has been done by our ancestors for generations.
Approaches are culturally sensitive and I tailor my treatment plans to affirm my client’s needs, identity and beliefs while urging clients to make informed decisions throughout services.
Strive to create a non-judgmental space where a person’s whole self and all intersectionalities are accepted and empowered to flower.
Encourage the disruption of systems and beliefs that have perpetuated harm to clients and incorporate an anti-oppressive and liberation framework.
Emotional and physical safety is a priority as clients process and heal from traumas while honoring the complexities of adaptations learned through survival.
All sessions are completed virtually while clients are in a confidential space.
