As a queer person, I bring lived experience as well as doctorate level training to my clinical work with queer/LGBTQ+ clients. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to help create a safe, non judgmental space where your identities can be explored and celebrated. I work from a framework that challenged compulsive heteronormativity and views you as a person with a variety of intersectional identities that inform your perspective and the kinds of relationships you form.

My lived experience as a neurodiverse person and clinician have encouraged me to adapt therapeutic techniques to better fit the needs of folks with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Additionally, the therapy spaces I work out of and the policies and procedures I have in place support brains that function differently. I am very comfortable providing accommodations to help therapy feel comfortable and useful.

I take the unique needs of brains with ADHD seriously and create space to explore strategies that may help manage some of the symptoms of ADHD, help provide easier access to medical care such as medicine prescribers, and incorporate environmental adjustments into the therapy experience to make it more comfortable for folks with ADHD.

As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, I have extensive training and experience with cognitive behavior therapy approaches that focus on behavioral patterns and the relationship between behavior and environmental factors which influence behavior. This training also applies to how deeper communication patterns and emotional patterns combine to create and sustain challenges in people's lives and relationships.

Experiential Therapy suggests that healing is a developmental process that requires us to have new experiences, not just new information, in order to heal. I incorporate experiential techniques into my case conceptualization and clinical work in a variety of ways. This could include focusing on somatic bodily awareness, exploration of artistic expression as a form of healing, and relationally-focused interactions that give new emotional touchpoints.

Depth Therapy pulls from the larger psychoanalytic/psychodynamic tradition to look for deeper, relational patterns which are at play in our lives. Many of these factors are often unconscious and require time, energy, and relational safety to uncover. I find that working from a Depth Therapy perspective is an effective way of helping clients resolve some of the most impactful conflicts, like complex or developmental trauma.
