About My Clients
I routinely work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, chronic pain, shame, self-harm, suicidal ideation, interpersonal relationships, past trauma, recent trauma, and those who are exploring sexuality and gender identities. I have practiced in a variety of settings and like that previous clients of mine have had a very wide range of ages, mental health symptoms, identities, life goals, trauma histories, cultural backgrounds, neurodiversities, and lived experiences.
My Background and Approach
When engaging in therapeutic work I promise to show up with curiosity, respect, a willingness to learn, and with the understanding that you are the expert in your own life. When we are in session together, we are a team. It is through the connection we make that I can help you identify your goals for therapy and how to work towards attaining them. My practice is influenced by Jungian Psychology, Humanistic Theory, Trauma-Informed Care, Anti-Racist frameworks, Liberation frameworks, and the teachings of many revolutionary thinkers. I utilize a variety of evidence based treatment modalities depending on my client's needs, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and Present Moment Awareness. While all of my sessions don't have to encompass political talk, I am very social-political in my approach. I believe systems have a great impact on all of us and the way we move through the world.
Why I am a Good Fit for You
I like to acknowledge that there are many stressors in the world that exist outside of our control, and I think it's important to address that sometimes therapy is a tool that can help us find things like joy, warmth, self-love, humor, and fun amidst a world where certain realities are appropriately met with feelings of anger, fear, worry, grief, and pain. I believe that all emotions give us important information about the world, our needs, our values, and ourselves. Part of my work with you will be to help you find a balance of emotional experiences that honor your truth and leave space for pleasant emotions to exist as well. I'm honored to say that my clients really enjoy working with me and I've had previous clients restart therapy with me years after our first connection. I love what I do and know I'm good at it. If I seem like a good fit for you, I imagine you'll enjoy our consultation and feel excited about working together! Reach out to schedule a consultation anytime.
