About My Clients
I specialize in working with queer and trans clients with a particular focus on trauma, dissociation, and grief. I ground my work in an anti-oppressive and queer-affirming approach that acknowledges the many experiences we bring on both an individual and societal level. I practice with a psychodynamic relational approach that is trauma-informed and socially aware of power and privilege, critical of psychological paradigms that pathologize suffering.
My Background and Approach
I practice from an interpersonal psychodynamic perspective, incorporating principles of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I have experience working in crisis counseling as well as individual therapy. I have worked with clients on issues such as anxiety, depression, complex trauma, dissociation, grief, identity, family relationships, dysphoria, gender affirming medical care, and the ways in which our identities interact with society at large. I believe you are the expert on your own experiences and that therapy should be a space for you to show up exactly as you are. Together we can explore the many different ways your personal and societal lived experiences have shaped who you are and inform who you wish to become. My approach is person-centered, and grounded in an openness to your experiences and the meaning you make of them. I aim to create a depathologizing space where you can reflect, question, explore and unearth meaning.
