About My Clients
I work with adults (18+) and my main areas of focus are anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I also have a particular passion for working with people from the queer and neurodivergent communities. I enjoy working with clients who are trying to live fuller, more authentic, values-driven lives, and I am passionate about helping each client carve out a path forward that honors their unique identities.
My Background and Approach
My experience working in mental health has taught me that there are no one size fits all solutions when it comes to therapy. The things that help us heal are going to be different for everyone. Some people will benefit from concrete direction and coping strategies, while others just need a space to talk things out. My approach is person-centered, flexible and holistic.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that therapy should be an empowering experience. Historically, mental health systems have defined healthy behavior in a way that excludes members of marginalized groups, namely LGBTQ+ people, people of color, women, and people with disabilities. I believe it is the responsibility of a good therapist to work with each client to create a definition of health and wellness that honors every aspect of your personhood and each identity you hold dear. As a queer, neurodivergent person myself, I understand what it means to navigate mental health systems with those identities. I also believe in bringing conversations of power and privilege into the therapy room. Experiences of racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and other bigotries can be internalized when they go unchallenged. By calling out these experiences when they happen, we can better recognize that experiencing bigotry is not a personal failing, and respond in a healthier way.
