About My Clients

I work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, chronic stress, and recovering from trauma. I have strengths in working with LGBTQIA+ people on identity exploration and politicized grief and supporting caregivers through stress, overwhelm, and grief.

My Background and Approach

I meet every client where they are in a given moment. My approach is person-centered, strengths-based, feminist. I'm trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, and body-based mindfulness approaches. People who are feeling stuck, grieving, struggling with the weight of our socio-political crises, perfectionists, codependents, highly sensitive people: I'd love to help you slow down, connect with yourself, and forge a healthy, self-loving path forward.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

A structural lens is the foundation of my clinical practice. Harmful systems are at the root of much suffering and discontent – and there is healing in envisioning and building alternatives. Rage, grief, numbing, sadness, anxiety, avoidance, fear - these are all healthy responses to an unhealthy society. I welcome therapy clients to use our sessions as a space to process the social and political crises we are living through so they may show up more fully to this moment.
