About My Clients
I help perfectionistic women and queer folx who are ready to choose themselves over the people-pleasing, fawning, and over-functioning that leads to burnout. Many of my clients are navigating religious deconstruction, themes of identity and sexuality, family of origin dysfunction and trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions or role changes. Together we will explore your values, build insight, and enact positive change to sharpen your intuition and build the life you deserve.
My Background and Approach
I work from an eclectic stance rooted in psychodynamic and queer/feminist theories to explore what led you to where you are today, while also acknowledging the impact of systems and power dynamics on your experience. Cognitive work through the CBT, ACT, and CPT lens allows us to develop concrete tools to heal from trauma, manage distress, and rework distorted core beliefs into authentic, value-congruent action. I've supported hundreds of individuals in addiction recovery, including using harm-reduction approaches like Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT). I also have specialty training in diagnosing and treating mental health concerns during the perinatal period. I deeply enjoy supporting folks during pregnancy and postpartum, as they navigate role changes, relational shifts, emotional and biological changes, and all of the complex things that come with the transition into parenthood.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that the personal is political, and the political is personal. Every human is worthy and deserving of support. Consider me a safe space to land, especially if you find it challenging to be a progressive thinker (and voter) in a geographical region that doesn't tend to align with your beliefs. Therapy with me should feel grounding, challenging, and supportive. My therapy room (virtual or otherwise) is a safe space to bring your unique experiences, deeply held beliefs, scary questions, big feelings, and your true self. Let's work together to reach your goals and get you un-stuck. Please reach out to book a 15 minute complimentary consult call to see if we're a good fit!
