I am a clinical social worker licensed in Colorado, Iowa, and Illinois. I specialize in trauma therapy using a variety of interventions, including EMDR, Brainspotting, and Internal Family Systems Theory (IFS), as well as additional techniques, such as DBT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing. I practice holistically and believe my clients have the ability to heal themselves with the right set of tools. Prior to becoming a therapist, I was a massage therapist, so I also incorporate a lot of somatic work into my practice, such as breathing, movement, and learning self-awareness and grounding techniques.
As a BDSM practitioner, I have a deep understanding of the lifestyle and the many misnomers surrounding it. I will always provide a safe space to discuss your lifestyle, but I also make sure that we are staying on track with whatever your goals are for healing. I understand that most of the time, those two areas of life do not intersect but can be influenced by each other. In my space, you will be safe to discuss, free of judgment, and with compassion, empathy, and kindness.
I look forward to working with you!
