MODALITIES & Approaches

In addition to talk therapy, I love using embodiment (generative somatics, mindfulness, meditation, etc) as a tool to get out of our heads and into our bodies and hearts, allowing emotions to be felt and processed to ease anxiety and move through grief.

Additionally, as a poet who has experienced deep healing from creative expression, I am excited to support your healing journey using narrative therapy and art therapy to tap into different parts of yourself.

If you are a nature lover, we can explore using floral therapy, plant medicine, crystals, earthing, etc.- weaving natural elements into your sessions. When the weather is warm, we can go on walks in the woods while having our sessions if being in nature is healing for you.

Frameworks & Philosophy

I approach therapy from a trauma-informed, healing-centered, decolonial lens, recognizing that we are not only impacted by interpersonal trauma but also by systemic oppression- we carry the trauma (and resilience) of our ancestors and communities.

I believe our identities are a huge part of how we experience the world and that difference should be acknowledged rather than ignored in the therapeutic space. I am a white, cis, queer, anti-zionist Jewish woman. I am a sexual assault survivor, living with chronic pain and illnesses- both of these experience have given me deeper empathy for folks carrying emotional and physical trauma in their bodies. I am also a single momma with a non-traditional family structure. While I hold some marginalized identities, I also hold many privileged identities. I know that no matter how much anti-racist work I engage in, the work is never done- I need to continue interrogating my implicit biases and dismantling white supremacy within myself and my communities. I have worked with folks from all different backgrounds and feel confident supporting diverse folks across differences in culture, race, age, sexuality, gender and other identities.

I practice radical, relational therapy rooted in intersectional feminism, rather than the traditional model where the therapist is a blank slate and the client looks to them for guidance- I believe if I expect vulnerability from you, I must model it myself. You are the expert of your own lived experience, so I will lovingly push you to come to your own realizations rather than being prescriptive. I value feedback and will encourage you to let me know what’s working and what isn’t so we can ensure this therapy experience is everything you need.
