About My Clients

I am especially focused on working folx that have goals of positive growth and change. I am passionate about client-centered, trauma-informed, sex affirmative therapy for all - especially uplifting BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ voices and stories.

My Background and Approach

First and foremost, we will focus on building a relationship and container of trust necessary for your growth and healing. How we work beyond this will be highly personalized and dependent on our unique client-therapist connection. Haveing shared that, I am especially interested in Brainspotting and mindfulness based offerings within trauma-informed care.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that the person is not the problem - the problem is the problem. And oftentimes, more than not, the problem is a result of the systems we live in. It is important to take this wider context into consideration when working in mental health, to best connect with and support the client/human experience.
