About My Clients

Is anxiety and fear getting in the way of your growth and joy? Is self doubt, overthinking, rigidity, and avoidance shaping your daily life? I can help you live a life more aligned with your goals and beliefs. I utilize evidence-based practices to help you manage symptoms and address root causes of anxiety. I work best with clients who want to leave each session with an action plan for the week ahead, practice new skills, and examine the stories they tell themselves.

My Background and Approach

I utilize integrative, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused therapies. Behavioral strategies and structure improve consistency and sustainability of change. Cognitive approaches uncover unhelpful narratives and core beliefs at the root of distress and maladaptive behavior. Integrative assessment and intervention address the holistic lifestyle and cultural aspects of mental health. Solution-focused goalsetting leverages strengths and values to envision and work towards desired outcomes.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in the inherent dignity and worth of all beings. I value client autonomy and the therapeutic relationship as the foundations to good therapy. I view all relationships as intercultural and strive to practice cultural humility in all my interactions. While I am a queer woman, I am cis and white, so I strive to provide a safe and affirming space while being mindful of intersectionality and my privilege in the therapeutic space. I do my best to be LGBTQIA-affirming; BIPOC-affirming; sex, kink, and consensual non-monogamy positive; fat positive; and welcoming to folks across the (dis)ability spectrum.
