Individual Consultation for Therapists

Hello! Thank you for visiting my website! 

I am excited to offer consultation to all therapists who want to expand their knowledge of working with complex trauma and dissociation. 

In addition, I am highly skilled in carrying a high acuity caseload, and am happy to consult on difficult cases with you.

I am passionate about the work that I continue to do as an active Clinician.

I believe in equity of knowledge and resources, and am happy to share all that I've learned and the resources I have accumulated and developed over the course of my nearly two decade career.

I am actively carrying a high caseload myself and am available for consultation on Mondays 1:30pm-4:30pm. 

 

Below you will find a list of the values that guide my clinical work as a trauma therapist, clinical supervisor, and clinical consultant.

​

​

SERVICE

I show up to serve, with presence, intention, and respect.  I respect and value the unique strengths and wisdom each person/System brings. I strive to offer care that is thoughtful, efficient, and deeply rooted in both scientific evidence and cultural understanding. Your time, energy, and trust are never taken for granted.

EQUITY

I believe that healing and knowledge should never be gatekept. Everyone deserves access to the tools, resources, and information that support wellness and dignity. I am committed to transparency, inclusion, and the dismantling of barriers that prevent people from thriving.

KINDNESS & COMPASSION

My practice is guided by the principle of doing no harm. I aim to reduce suffering, not reinforce it. Through mindful speech and behavior, I work to create spaces free from judgment, where people feel seen, heard, and safe. Compassion isn’t just a value, it’s a daily discipline.

COMPETENCE

I don’t claim to know everything, nor do I aspire to. What I do commit to is ongoing learning: staying engaged with current research, trainings, and evolving best practices. But knowledge alone isn’t enough. I integrate what I learn with care and discernment, tailoring it to the unique needs of each person and system I work with. My approach is never robotic or one-size-fits-all. I aim to support meaningful growth and lasting integration, always in service of wellness, dignity, and real-world impact.

About Me

I believe folx deserve to be met with respect, curiosity, compassion, and honesty. Whether I am providing consultation, training, developing resources, or offering clinical services, I strive to create spaces where ALL feel seen, heard, and valued.
