Therapy offers new pathways in the journey to self
About me
As a white femme nonbinary clinician, I am oriented by anti-oppressive, anti- capitalist, and somatics values. My mission is to provide a safe and affirming space for queer, trans, and gender diverse folks of all ages. I truly believe in the power of anti-oppressive healing work outside of the limitations of our colonized, cisheteronormative and capitalist understanding.
I practice virtually and in person at my office on the westside of Olympia. My dog, Moonpie, works as my co-therapist. He is a gentle and calm dog, who loves his job!
I am kink positive and support individuals in non-monogamous and polyamorous relationship structures.
My approach:
We all have fundamental needs of safety, belonging, and dignity. I utilize the NARM model of treatment that implements neurobiology, attachment, and somatic components. In the NARM approach, we work simultaneously with the physiology and the psychology of individuals who have experienced developmental trauma, and focus on the interplay between issues of identity and the capacity for connection and regulation.
NARM uses four primary organizing principles:
Supporting connection and organization
Exploring identity
Working in present time
Regulating the nervous system
