In my practice, I use a relationally focused psychodynamic framework. While I do work within a trauma-informed lens that recognizes the impact of trauma on our functioning and spirit, I do not work in trauma-related recovery interventions, such as EMDR or any exposure therapies, but I do work with an amazing team of clinicians who I refer to for trauma work, and clients can begin the process of therapy with me. As a social worker, my approach to therapy is informed by the client’s needs, meeting the client where they are in their process with therapy, and encouraging clients to share and build rapport at their own pace. I use a holistic approach to provide a non-judgmental space to discuss family dynamics, work stress, sexual health, and major life events. I encourage a sex-positive and LBGTQ+ safe space in all communications, and I am sex work affirmative.
