Our practicum site provides a comprehensive training experience designed to enhance student therapists' professional skills, confidence, and proficiency with the tools necessary for building a private practice. As a clinical supervisor, I foster the safe and effective use of self, alongside theoretical and practical embodiment, in training therapists and RPQs.
As an integrative psychodynamic psychotherapist, I utilize emotion-focused, parts work, and somatic techniques to enhance capacities, foster integration, and promote embodiment. My approach is trauma-informed and relational, supporting the exploration of various aspects of identity, including gender, sexuality, spirituality, culture, race and whiteness. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, CPTSD, and diverse relationship structures. My framework acknowledges the profound impact of intergenerational and systemic traumas on individual and collective psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual health.
My identities as a white-presenting, mixed-race, and queer person, coupled with my community involvement and educational background, shape my commitment to anti-oppression. This value informs my understanding of power dynamics and privilege within therapeutic and supervisory relationships, and I encourage ongoing, honest discussions about impact.
