Experience and approach:

My clinical practice is deeply rooted in relational psychoanalysis, intersubjectivity, and trauma-informed approaches that honor the complexity of the human psyche as it develops within systems of power and oppression. I view symptoms of distress not as isolated intrapsychic failures, but as adaptive responses to relational, intergenerational, and systemic trauma. From a feminist and intersectional lens, I recognize the profound ways that gender, identity, and embodiment are shaped by social, cultural, and political forces.

Informed by modalities such as Ego State Therapy, Compassionate Inquiry, EMDR, CRM, Somatic Experiencing (SE), Polyvagal Theory, and NARM, my work is attuned to the intricate interplay between the nervous system, dissociation, and attachment trauma. Through the therapeutic relationship, we engage in a process of co-regulation, reparation, and meaning-making, allowing for the transformation of internalized oppression and the reclamation of agency. By naming and exploring the lived experience of marginalization, we create a relational space that fosters deeper self-understanding, resilience, and healing
