They/Them
Associate Therapy Under Supervision with Heather Murray (GA License CSW008665)
Do you want to feel connected to others? Are you looking to transform an emotional wound? Are you seeking hope? You deserve to feel known and seen and understood. You deserve to feel permanent.
As a queer, nonbinary, polyamorous therapist, I understand the importance of developing secure attachments in order to navigate the world. I offer individual and relationship therapy. I work with teens, young adults, and adults to explore gender identity, sexual orientation, neurodiversity, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and relationships.
I take a collaborative approach to the therapeutic relationship and tailor sessions to your goals in therapy. As we work together this may look like traditional talk therapy or an embodied drama therapy approach.
If you are looking for a therapeutic modality that moves beyond verbal processing into a somatic practice, drama therapy is a good option. Through metaphor, we can explore trauma while minimizing retraumatization. We can explore roles like the hero, the optimist, and the child. Through play, we can connect and transform.
My Story
Before beginning my master’s program I worked as a direct support professional at a residential foster care facility for 1.5 years. I gained experience holding space for deep trauma and grief. I created an LGBTQ+ support group for the clients during my time working there and as a volunteer after I left.
During my master’s program, I centered my internship experiences on working with children and families. In my first internship I worked in a preschool where I gained experience in using play to create safety and facilitate the development of self regulation skills. In my second internship I worked at a therapeutic school for neurodiverse teenagers and adults. I gained experience utilizing drama therapy techniques with groups to support transition.
While in school I volunteered with a therapeutic RPG group to facilitate the development of social skills and assertiveness.
