About My Clients
I work with folks exploring gender & sexual orientation identities, navigating life transitions, & healing from past trauma and relational hurts. My work with neurodivergent folks & folks with disabilities integrates a disability justice perspective. Whether you are navigating coming out as a late bloomer, healing from divorce, finding your way through retirement, or grappling with a world that tells you “you don’t fit”, we can sit together with the big feelings and questions that change brings.
My Background and Approach
My approach blends EMDR, Mindfulness, Grief Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, & Attachment Theory. I bring a feminist lens that centers your experience within the context of society, culture, & the messages we get about who we “should” be. I use a blend of Emotion-Focused Therapy & Gottman Method principles to support partners in rebuilding their connection. In our work together, I will hold a space where all feelings are welcome and received without judgment. My style infuses warmth, authenticity, and humor to invite you to bring your whole self to our time together.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Many of my identities inform my lens as a therapist. As a queer woman and child of immigrants, I have a passion for working with the LGBTQIA+ community and folks who are grappling with identity and authenticity. I love working with folks who want to feel at home and at peace within their own bodies and minds. I am body positive and disability justice oriented. I believe that building a safe and trusting relationship is the foundation of this work. I commit to transparency and open communication about setting goals for our work together and how we get there. This includes a commitment to cultural humility as an active practice to recognize our differences and how they show up in our space. In my free time, I enjoy spending as much time in water as possible, nurturing my (excessive number of) plants, traveling, and camping with my partner and our two dogs.
