“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.” -Rainer Maria Rilke
Congratulations on taking this step to find a therapist. In what can be a daunting process, this action symbolizes your commitment to changing something in your life. I approach the therapeutic experience as one of collaboration, where we work together to deepen your relationship to self so you may deepen your relationship to others. My training is trauma- and attachment-informed, which means we will often consider the somatic, or physical, experience as it relates to your emotional experience. Together we will explore what it means to be you, here and now. We will likely work together on building coping skills to get you some relief from current symptoms, and pair that with deeper, existential work to identify source wounds to examine and heal. Positive change is one goal of therapy, and we will approach the process with self-compassion, empathy, and empowerment.
My work with couples is likewise attachment-informed, which often includes assessing the current relational and communication patterns between partners. As we identify the current dance of the relationship, we collaborate as a team to learn some new moves. My approach to working with couples is informed by Dr. Sue Johnson’s Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), in which couples learn to identify their deeper, more vulnerable emotions and communicate them more effectively with their partner(s).
My substantial experience with grief and loss informs my desire to be in a connective space with people at their most human. I graduated from Tulane University in 2010 with a B.S. in Psychology, where I had the opportunity to do research in a stress and trauma lab after Hurricane Katrina. As a New Orleans native, I allowed the humbling experience of collective trauma and loss to inform my later decision to become a professional counselor. My interest in trauma and grief led me to pursue my Master’s in Professional Counseling from Texas State University. The current epidemic of loss due to overdose inspires my work with individuals who struggle with substance use (and their friends and families). Counseling is a second career to me, after over a decade working in the service industry in bars and restaurants helped me hone my people skills, connecting with folks carrying their own trauma, substance abuse, grief, anxiety, and identity struggles.
Therapy is a unique space where you may find yourself having a huge range of feelings. This space is a sacred one, built on trust and acceptance. As such, I operate from an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, LGBTQIA+ affirming stance. Though the counseling experience exists within a larger system of oppression, I hope to create a safe space of exploration, collaboration, and respect in our work together. To take the next step on your journey, contact me via this page to set up a consultation.
