About My Clients
I primarily work with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and have worked with trans, nonbinary, and gender-questioning adolescents, adults, and their families for the last 13 years around identity exploration, gender affirming care, and treating trauma related to gender and sexuality. I'm trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and provide individual and group DBT treatment. I lead two 2SLGBTQIA+ DBT adult groups through NW DBT and currently have openings.
My Background and Approach
I work from a foundation of compassion with the intent to give you a safe place to explore yourself that is free from judgment, oppression, and harmful messages. I believe there is nothing wrong with you, but there’s quite a lot wrong with what you were taught to believe about yourself. I'm a humanistic and attachment-based therapist, emphasizing the importance of the relationship between client and therapist. I view therapy as a collaborative process and as a relationship between equals. We will explore the effects of oppression and how racism, sexism, homophobia, bi/panphobia, transphobia, xenophobia, anti-semitism, ageism, ableism, etc affect each individual’s mental health and identity.
