What I Do
I'm here to support you while you figure it all out. I work for you. I hold space for you - all of you. Sometimes I share stuff I've learned on my own journey if you're curious.
I'm trained as a clinical social worker, so I come from a place of connection. I see a world where we influence, and are influenced by, the systems we live in, the systems that live in us, and the systems we interact with. It's an holistic approach to how we are in our worlds.
I'm also kind of a science nerd. I like to explore things like where things like quantum theory, spirituality, philosophy, and possibility may intersect. I'll go there with you if you're curious about that stuff too.
I'll want to know what safe means to you, and the paths you want to explore. We'll go in a direction that feels meaningful to you.
I am a student of Bessel Van Der Kolk, Peter Levine, Dan Siegel, Linda Graham, Brene Brown, Frank Anderson, and Gabor Maté among others. I am a graduate of Mindful Schools’ year long course on Mindfulness practices. I am trained in various somatic approaches, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, EMDR. For parents and those who work with challenging youth, I am a fan of Howard Glasser’s Nurtured Heart Approach.
