About My Clients

Have you struggled with your sense of self, setting boundaries, or processing a traumatic experience to the point where it affects your relationships or ability to function? Do you feel isolated, lost or overwhelmed when it comes to just getting through the day, returning a text, or just showing up for yourself? With the complexities of today's world, it often seems as if our problems are amplified, while simultaneously being invalidated. Let's talk about it.

My Background and Approach

I approach therapy from a holistic, intersectional, trauma-informed lens grounded in psychodynamic practices, non-judgement, and positive regard. My work is tailored to each individual to ensure the interventions are in alignment with your unique needs. While exploring how past experiences influence the way you move through the present moment, I may incorporate mindfulness, psychoeducation, skill building, and narrative therapy when appropriate. My specialties include dating and relationship issues, sexuality, gender, depression, anxiety, unhealthy coping mechanisms, low self-esteem, difficult family dynamics, trauma and PTSD.
