(she/they)
I am a trauma informed clinician experienced in working with individuals and systems experiencing chronic stress and/or trauma. I have worked in various levels of care, in service of children, adolescents, adults, and families, both in individual and systemic capacities, and from various walks of life. I am certified in Natural Flow EMDR, trained in Somatic embodiment and mindfulness practices, and experienced with ACT, DBT, CBT/TFCBT, and IFS. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist Associate (LCAS-A), and a Registered Dance Movement Therapist (R-DMT) in NC. I completed a Master’s of Arts Degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology, from Naropa University, and Post Master’s of Arts Certificate in Dance Movement Therapy from Antioch University.
I am a somatically oriented, mindful, and empathetic professional, with over twenty years of experience in the human services field. I apply a developmental and attachment based lens in working to build trust and rapport, which research tells us is a cornerstone to the collaborative nature of the therapeutic relationship. I believe that when we are harmed in relationship we have the opportunity to heal in relationship, to ourselves and to others. I believe that much mental health dis-ease stems from a chronically dysregulated nervous system, and I trust in our nervous system's capacity to heal and learn to orient toward safety and sustainability, through curiosity, patience, repetition, and compassion. Additionally, I identify as an ally and as LGBTQ, sex positive and kink affirming clinician, and I support diversity, equity, and inclusivity.
I believe that we are invited to dive into our depths, explore the pearls of wisdom contained there, and bring them to the surface for ourselves and others. I am passionate about co-creating an alchemical collaboration, in support of empowerment and in service to the individual and systemic transformation. I trust in a relational, strength-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed approach. I value the use of psycho-education, somatic practices, parts work, transpersonal frameworks and dance movement therapy interventions, and I believe there are endless, creative avenues, toward healing, spiritual development, and embodied mindfulness.
