Specialties:

I specialize in working with adults with intersectional marginalized identities (i.e., gender, race, sexuality, ethnicity) who have a desire to better understand themselves, their behaviors, their experiences, and their relationships. Many of my clients have experienced feeling misunderstood and unsupported because of their identities, leading to a breakdown in self-image and unfulfilling relationships.

I am skilled in guiding clients through how to move away from self-limiting beliefs, toxic relationships and behaviors, and internalized judgment that contribute to the mood and interpersonal difficulties they experience, including anxiety, depression, and relational conflict.

Clinical Style & Theoretical Orientation:

I embody a warm, collaborative, and eclectic therapeutic style, integrating multiple evidence-based interventions and frameworks specifically tailored to the needs and accessibility of each individual client. I empower my clients to actively participate in their care, co-creating a safe space alongside them where they feel open to explore their experiences in all areas of life without judgment.

My approach encourages clients to see themselves as the experts of their own experiences, giving them the confidence to create and step into the lives and relationships that they want and deserve.

With this approach, I explore with my clients, through an identity-affirming and trauma-informed lens, what experiences and traumas they have endured that may be impacting the way they connect with and understand themselves and others.
