My Orientation

My work draws from many theoretical perspectives, I am primarily oriented to therapy through a holistic and integrative lens focusing on somatic and animal-assisted therapy. As an integrative therapist, I have been trained in a variety of other modalities and regularly pursue continuing education to further my professional development. Some of the modalities im trained in are: IFS, DBT, ACT, arts-based, spiral dynamics, trauma informed care, bridges out of poverty, Motivational Interviewing, working with non-monogamy, clinical issues in non-monogamy, working with BDSM/kink populations, somatic work with neurodivergence, and a handful of other trainings. I also aim to integrate a strengths-based and an anti- oppressive lens to my work and acknowledge that this is an ongoing area of growth given my own privilege and social identities. In my practice, I bring together a patchwork quilt interweaving the above techniques and modalities, as well as supporting supervisees and clients in awareness of the various layers of their identities micro-macro that influence who they are in their individual contexts. The populations I specialize in working with are: complex PTSD, trauma as a whole, neurodivergence, non-monogamy, kink/BDSM, highly sensitive folx, embodiment and body connectivity, dissociation, and anxiety.

Within the context of supervision, I use a developmental approach that is grounded in both a transtheoretical and reflective model. I believe that associates, as well as independently- licensed practitioners, are continuously growing and developing skills throughout our careers. Through the transtheoretical model, I believe that both supervisees and supervisors grow through a process that understands the importance of motivation for change (i.e., engaged in the learning process and open to learning). From a reflective lens, I find it valuable to engage in self-reflective practice that can help us to better understand our professional identity and how it impacts our work with clients. I orient towards therapy and supervision from a healing lens, meaning that any stuck points are often indicative of something functional that provides a growth edge for us to work through. Through this, I emphasize the importance of a supervisee-led approach to supervision.
