My Approach to Helping

I practice from a trauma informed, humanistic, anti-oppressive, and strengths-based framework. I also draw from parts/systems work, relational, and narratives therapies and EMDR. I am committed to providing gender and identity affirming care that allows for safe exploration to become closer to your true self. I also have a strong focus in trauma recovery and how the brain and nervous system have learned to adapt to keep you safe. We will connect about how your experiences have shaped thoughts about yourself, behaviors, and emotions, and how these create barriers for the goals you have in your life. We will also explore and consider the impacts of systemic oppression on your identity and sense of self. I take a non-pathologizing approach to working my clients, with a particular focus on those with marginalized identities. I wholeheartedly believe in your ability to be more connected with yourself and am excited to be with you on your journey.

Why I am a Good Fit for You

I appreciate doing deeper work with clients and building a strong connection within the therapeutic relationship. Clients seeking a warm, compassionate, and patient therapist, will be a good fit for me. I also value incorporating humor and prioritize healthy boundaries. If you are looking to prioritize skill building and a therapist that is really direct we probably won’t be the best match. I wholeheartedly believe in your ability to be more connected with yourself and am excited to be with you on your journey.
