About My Clients

I have a special interest in working w/ young women, folks in the LGBTQIA+ community, and people experiencing chronic illness, pain, and/or co-occurring physical disability(ies). I have specific expertise in treating medical trauma, OCD, and anxiety disorders and have a trauma-informed approach to care. I also affirm and support those who are ethically non-monogamous, and am a kink-friendly provider. My patients come from a tremendous array of backgrounds.

My Background and Approach

Psychotherapy should be individualized, supportive, adaptive, and promote increased feelings of wellbeing, a heightened sense of competence or mastery, enhanced coping skills, stress reduction, and improved interpersonal relationships. Everyone is different, and our first sessions will focus on an exploration of your unique needs, strengths, preferences and abilities. Psychotherapy can be brief and solution-focused, but is often a lengthier relationship in which we examine lifelong themes and patterns. Please note, I typically work with individuals who can make a regular, weekly commitment to attend therapy.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As someone who has studied both social work and public health, and been heavily involved in the criminal justice reform movement since 2008, I recognize the impact of systemic and intergenerational trauma. Causes I support and are important to me include harm reduction, LGBTQIA+, disability rights, rights for those with justice-involvement, racial justice, BLM, environmental justice, and many more. I take an ecological, intersectional, non-hierarchical approach to working with individuals and am heavily invested in advocacy. I am here to be a partner to you.
