My Approach to Helping

I utilize mindfulness as a tool to assist you in exploring your present experience. Even when dealing with past events or future concerns, I find that paying attention to our current state yields a lot of insight. Paying attention to yourself includes all the different areas that make up who you are! This includes not just your thoughts and feelings but also your body. By becoming more embodied, we can begin to feel more into who and where we are in relationship to ourselves, others, and the world. I am also interested in the role of interpersonal neurobiology and the impact of stress and trauma on the attachment system. As such, I place a high value on cultivating a safe, warm, and loving therapeutic relationship.

Social Justice Issues I Care About

I am a deeply committed activist and organizer for socialism, transformative justice, and non-hierarchical systems. I do volunteer work around conflict resolution processes to help cultivate healthier organizing cultures within social justice movements.
