Trauma and body centered psychotherapy based in Portland, OR.

My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in storytelling and bearing witness. Together we will tend to your collected stories and rewrite what no longer serves. This telling and rewriting happens in both mind and body and I support you in leaning into both. My role is to anchor you in the disorienting waters of transformation, tend the layers of stories and reflect what you may not be able to see from your vantage point. Within this context you create more connection to your agency and creative capacities.

I specialize in working with children and adults healing from past trauma and am thus quite familiar with high-anxiety, deep sadness and disembodiment. I orient towards a multi-generational and systems based worldview that highlights the systemic, cultural, communal, familial, and personal realms of our identities. Naming white body supremacy as a focal point for all of us here on Turtle Island is a necessity for our healing in this time.
