About My Clients

I help individuals and couples heal from high-functioning anxiety, relationship conflict, and identity-based trauma. Together, we will use specialized tools to shift old survival patterns, intimacy blocks, and blind spots that are keeping you stuck.

My Background and Approach

I have worked with populations across the lifespan -- from ages 5-75. I have expertise in anxiety disorders, relational conflict, and in both racial and gender identity development. I take a warm and understanding approach to building our therapeutic relationship. Clients can expect a space of reflection and empathy in my care. I am trauma-informed and justice-centered. A gentle heads-up: If you're looking for a passive therapist, I am likely not the right fit. If you're seeking a deeply collaborative, pattern-shifting space, then let's talk more.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in care, justice, accountability and liberation. I believe in community and mutual aid. I believe in transformation in our deepest parts and joy in our most accessible parts. I have spent time on the front lines of movement work across many social justice causes and find that healing is an essential part of our collective liberation.
