My Background and Approach
Liberation and value driven. Therapy is not one a one-size fits all approach, and use what we know works (evidence-based practice). We work on changing behaviors that gets in the way of relationships, healthy ways to deal with stress, insight building, and actually making changes to feel better. I use both relational and evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness that emphasizes trust, safety, and the therapeutic relationship. My clients tell me they enjoy my humor and working with an expert psychologist who knows a lot about the science behind what I am doing in therapy. I am different because I set up clear treatment goals and plan - we check in our work together and I only use evidence-based therapies that have evidence to support that they work! I am a clinical psychologist which requires over 7 years of training before we are licensed ensuring you know we are experts.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My practice is culturally informed, gender-affirmative, and considers how systematic injustice and oppression interferes with mental health and well being. As a therapist it is my priority to create a safe place to address experiences of racism and microaggression on your own terms. We are all interconnected and I strive to understand the complex intersection of your experiences from a systems level lens. I believe the bravest and hardest step is to ask for therapy and I am here as the supportive base to get you through challenging times.
