About My Clients

Life brings challenges and difficulties to us all. We encounter certain points in our lives where things can seem like far more of a struggle than they used to. Just coming to this point of reaching out is a major step. You’re definitely not “crazy” and definitely not alone.I work with adolescents, adults, and people in relationships. I am LGBTQIA++ affirming as well as poly/kink affirming.

My Background and Approach

I like to work collaboratively with my clients regarding their treatment. I hold the belief that they are the expert on themselves and their life and this is your therapy. I come from a trauma informed background. Whether you’re dealing with depression, stress, anxiety, relationships, sex, or just life I love integrating how the brain and body show up in our everyday lives . I often integrate elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectal behavioral therapy, and somatic experiencing. I am also a trained EMDR therapist.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that access mental health care is a right, not a privilege. The more are we able to access and view mental health as health the more the whole society becomes healthy. I see it as essential to view mental health from a culturally competent point of view. I go to therapy myself, because I want to give you the best version of myself.
