Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) and EMDR Certified Therapist who operates my telehealth & consultation service business, Rooted & Rising, LLC. Aside from some part-time consulting, I serve in my practice as a trauma therapist supporting adolescent and adult clients seeking to address symptoms of personal & cultural trauma (namely anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, as well as attachment & adjustment challenges, and navigating periods of grief & loss). I foster have a specialty in supporting members of the 2SLGBTQ+ communities (particularly those who are transgender, non-binary, genderfluid, and/or genderqueer), and have subspecialties in the areas of substance use, and disordered eating/body image work. While EMDR is the primary framework and method that nearly all my clients access in our work together, I also tailor a blend of techniques from CBT, DBT, Narrative, and Internal Family Systems therapies in order to fit folks’ unique strengths and goals. Across my work, the lenses that root my practice are from human rights, feminist, social justice, and systems theories, as well as trauma and attachment-responsive frameworks; and I prioritize anti-oppressive, collaborative, strengths-based, and solutions-focused approaches. Please reach out as you have any questions!
