About My Clients
I'm a relational and attachment based therapist and specialize in working with adults who have anxiety, OCD, trauma, and complex relationships. I also help folks to work through perfectionism, people pleasing, and struggles with self worth or negative body image.
My Background and Approach
I also honor how important the therapeutic relationship is in healing and emphasizes trauma informed, LGBTQ+ supportive practices. In this work, I specialize in providing attachment based therapy and relational therapy, which involves focusing on how the attachments you have had growing up may be affecting your relationships now. It also entails being curious about how patterns in your attachments and relationships have influenced your relationship with yourself, your world view, and more. I also utilize ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Based Therapy) which focuses on mindfulness and rather than trying to change our thoughts and feelings, instead focusing on how we relate or respond to our thoughts and feelings. It also brings in our values as a way to better understand ourselves.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I’m deeply passionate about advocating for social justice and helping to alleviate the stigma around mental health. I strive to align my practice with the principles of antiracism, gender inclusivity, sex positivity, body positivity, and a health at every size model. Systemic oppression and discrimination can contribute to many mental health challenges, and I believe that it is essential to address these issues directly in therapy.
