About My Clients

With 16 years in the field, my work is focused on helping you navigate periods of high stress, getting unstuck from old patterns, increasing your comfort with setting boundaries, and building a wider range of emotional expression. I have supported clients struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, LGBTQIA identity, and work-life balance.

My Background and Approach

My style is warm, inviting, attuned, present-moment focused, and reflective. I utilize an integrative approach to psychotherapy, drawing from a number of evidence-based modalities, including AEDP, ACT and TLDP. My perspective is informed by the influence that race/ethnicity, culture, class, spirituality, gender and sexuality have in shaping our experience.
