About My Clients
I help clients work through PTSD, anxiety, executive dysfunction, relationship struggles, family dynamics, self esteem, and kink and poly relationship issues. I like using warmth, compassion, curiosity, humor, and a lot of hand gestures to connect with my clients and establish a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship.
My Background and Approach
I work from a trauma-informed stance and use elements of narrative therapy, emotionally focused therapy, internal family systems, DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy), and Gottman to guide clients as they understand themselves, develop coping skills, heal, and improve relationships with others and themselves. I have been working as a clinician since 2019. My experience is with couples and individuals. My experience with couples includes helping couples navigate neurodivergence, communication difficulties, nuances of inter-racial relationships, kink, and consensual non-monogamy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that we all contain good and bad. The goal isn't to change or hide or remove the bad parts, but to learn that even those dark parts of ourselves deserve love, curiosity, and compassion. I believe that diagnosis and pathologizing normal human responses to life is rooted in white supremacy and isn't always best practice. I believe that clients are the experts on their lived experiences. I believe that therapy is a collaborative practice in which client and therapist work together to determine what makes the most sense for the client's life. I believe that life isn't "one size fits all", and we all deserve to be able to live in a way that fits specifically for us, our needs and our morals and ethics. I believe that living in community with others is the best way to challenge capitalism and white supremacy, and promote healing and acceptance.
