About My Clients
I'm a licensed clinical social worker with specialized experience supporting adults with anxiety, OCD, and a history of trauma. I know how exhausting it can be when your mind keeps pulling you away from the life you actually want to live.
My Background and Approach
My style is active, collaborative, and respectful, and yes, there's room for humor too. I've found that a well-timed laugh can do as much for flexibility and presence as any technique, and both are essential for real change and a values-based life. In my work with clients, I draw on evidence-based, trauma-informed, strengths-based, and social justice-oriented approaches, including Trauma-Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (TFACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I am explicitly LGBTQIA+ affirming, anti-racist, neuro-affirming, body-inclusive, sex-positive, poly- and kink-friendly, and dedicated to cultural humility and ongoing learning. My practice is informed by thousands of hours of training in cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based methods and direct clinical work.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Looking for support can feel intimidating. It takes courage just to think about sharing your hopes, struggles, and desires. Maybe distressing thoughts or feelings are making it hard to fully engage in life. Maybe painful experiences have left you hooked on the past, or so worried about the future that the present slips by. Or maybe things feel fine on the surface, but you've hit a wall, whether with yourself, in a relationship, or in a pattern you can't quite name or challenge. Even the most thoughtful, competent people can get stuck repeating strategies that no longer work. Your brain and body can learn something new: That's what this work is for.
