About My Clients
My clients are looking to live their best lives -- they come from all walks and are open to change, even if they are not exactly certain how to achieve what they want. I work well with both the hetero and LGBTQ+ community around issues of identity, relationships, sex, and self-acceptance. Creative people will find me helpful in navigating being a working artist, burnout and blocks. Couples can join me to develop better communication skills and get un-stuck.
My Approach to Helping
My practice is psychoanalytic, and my approach is queer-affirming, sex positive, and culturally conscious. I welcome clients with intersecting and marginalized identities. By unpacking stress, depression, anxiety, and other negative patterns, we will work together to deepen your self-knowledge, improve your relationships, and connect more fully to the present moment. My theoretical approach is tailored to each client, and includes elements of cognitive-behavioral, existential, and narrative therapies informed by multicultural, feminist, and queer theory.
My Values as a Therapist
Therapy can be about much more than treating symptoms. I’m committed to helping people not only imagine a life beyond prescribed labels, but to transcend the status quo and live each day with authenticity, serenity, and purpose. I strongly believe that clarity of intent and radical self-acceptance are the surest paths to fulfillment and joy. Though we will face the most serious issues together, we will do so with mutual respect, patience, and creativity.
