my approach to counselling
My Approach
My work is grounded in somatic psychotherapy, which I use in conjunction with expressive and evidenced-based practices. These include Culturally Responsive Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Expressive Arts Therapy, and Brief Solutions Focused Therapy to name a few. In sessions with me, you can expect to use music, movement, sound, drawing, and talking to approach challenges from multiple angles.
It is important to me in therapeutic work to acknowledge and explore the interplay of intersecting identities. I have worked with clients who identify as neurodivergent, 2SLGBTQIA+, multiracial, and having physical disabilities and/or chronic illness. Populations I’ve worked with include survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, people on parole or probation, university faculty and staff, people pursuing eating disorder recovery, and students.
