About Me

I am a queer (LGBTQIA+) identified therapist that has a specialty in CPTSD. I am certified in EMDR and hold a somatic, relational and parts informed (multiplicity of the mind) lens. I am an EMDR consultant in training, and offer one on one consultation to EMDR practitioners working towards certification, or who are interested in consultation on issues such as CPTSD, using somatics in practice, parts work, flash technique, pre-verbal and attachment healing and support, working with the LGBTQIA+ communities. My practice is oriented towards social justice and decolonization with a focus on holding space around healing from oppression and dismantling white supremacy. I specialize in working with sex workers and LGBTQ+ communities.
