About My Clients

My passion is working with teens, adults, couples, and non-traditional relationship dynamics like polyamorous relationships. I work with a variety of issues including anxiety, ADHD, depression, Bipolar disorder, trauma related issues, challenges with sex and intimacy, women's issues, racial issues, and LGBTQ+ issues. My ideal client is motivated and ready to engage in treatment. If you are feeling tired of being stuck, misunderstood, or undervalued and you are ready for change, let's connect!

My Background and Approach

The foundation of my practice is based on discovering and understanding the narratives that drive our perception of ourselves and the world. What do you think about yourself? Were you the smart kid growing up? Were you the athletic kid? Were you the troublemaker? How did you know what role you fit into? I will help you deconstruct these ideas that feel so concrete and linked to our identity. Together we will flip these ideas upside down and learn how they have shaped you and how they effect your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. You will be empowered to reclaim your story and decide exactly who you are and who you want to be.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that mental health issues develop because of a combination of trauma at the individual and systemic level. I believe that the general social understanding of trauma is limiting as it typically only refers to people who have experienced physical danger. I believe that trauma can be emotionally wounding as well and these wounds must be processed to promote hope, acceptance, and healing. I am proudly aligned with the Black Lives Matter movement and the LGBTQ+ community. Historically, I have also been an exclusive 'dog lover' until I had the pleasure of rescuing my one-eyed orange tabby cat who I adore.
