About My Clients

I have been working with people struggling with issues related to trauma, adjustment, difficulty in relationships, substance abuse, neurodivergence, depression, and anxiety since 2011. I am passionate about racial and social justice and am experienced in working with LGBTQIA+ people of all ages in navigating the unique experiences of our community.

My Background and Approach

I view therapy as a collaborative experience and see my role as one of support and guidance as you find the resources within yourself to create the life you desire. I use an array of therapeutic approaches in order to meet the diverse needs of the people I work with. My foundation is a humanistic, strengths based perspective that facilitates growth and change while respecting you as the expert on yourself. Some of the tools and interventions I find helpful to support the folx I work with are: Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy along with humor as appropriate.
