I offer talk therapy through an integrative, trauma-informed approach rooted in anti-oppression and Liberation Psychology frameworks. My practice is guided by an understanding of how systemic forces—such as colonialism, migration, and patriarchy—impact mental health and lived experience. I draw on a range of therapeutic modalities, including EMDR, Somatic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Neurofeedback, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), tailoring each session to meet the unique needs of the individual. These techniques support emotional regulation, trauma processing, self-awareness, and the development of more adaptive narratives. I view therapy as a collaborative and empowering process, where each person is seen as whole and capable of healing.

The Othmer Method is a personalized form of neurofeedback that helps regulate the brain’s activity to support emotional balance, focus, and overall well-being. Unlike traditional neurofeedback protocols that use standardized frequencies, the Othmer Method tailors the training to each individual’s optimal response—helping identify the specific brainwave frequency that promotes the greatest sense of calm, clarity, and regulation. This method is especially supportive for individuals experiencing anxiety, trauma, sleep issues, mood disorders, or chronic stress. Sessions are non-invasive and involve monitoring brainwave activity while the brain receives real-time feedback through visual or auditory cues. Over time, the brain learns to self-regulate more effectively, leading to lasting improvements in mental and emotional health.

EMDR is a trauma-focused therapy that helps people process and heal from distressing experiences that may be stuck in the nervous system. It’s based on the understanding that traumatic memories can remain unprocessed in the brain, leading to emotional reactivity, negative beliefs, and symptoms like anxiety, flashbacks, or low self-worth. During EMDR, the therapist gently guides you through recalling specific memories while using bilateral stimulation—such as eye movements, tapping, or tones—to support the brain’s natural ability to reprocess and integrate the experience. This allows the emotional charge of the memory to lessen, and new, more empowering beliefs to take root. EMDR is evidence-based and effective for a wide range of concerns, including PTSD, anxiety, grief, and early attachment wounds.

Somatic Experiencing® is a body-based approach to healing trauma and chronic stress, developed by Dr. Peter Levine. It works with the nervous system to gently release stored tension and support the body’s natural ability to restore balance after overwhelming experiences. Rather than focusing solely on talking about the past, Somatic Experiencing helps you tune into physical sensations, emotions, and impulses in the present moment. By slowing down and noticing what’s happening in the body, we create space for incomplete survival responses—like fight, flight, or freeze—to safely resolve. This approach is especially effective for trauma, anxiety, chronic pain, and emotional dysregulation. Somatic work helps people feel more grounded, connected, and resilient—supporting healing from the inside out.
