I specialize in conversations around identity, as who we present to this world can often add to our well-being, as well as our stressors. I use a trauma-informed, multicultural, feminist, and LGBTQIA+ lens to provide a safe, open space to explore and talk about all intersectional identities, with a specific interest in gender issues and conversations around chronic illness and disability. I also specialize in mood and anxiety disorders, grief, and trauma diagnoses or trauma symptoms, and how these conditions can deeply impact our self worth, and how they may be understood by others based on our visible or invisible identities.

It is most important to me that my clients feel safe, heard, and understood in our space, and that the work we do together is collaborative and helps you achieve your goals and feel better, whatever that looks like for you.

If you are someone who likes to use every tool at their disposal to solve an issue, then we might be a good fit. When it comes to therapy, I use an eclectic approach to therapy, such as using art or music in therapy, practicing meditation, and focusing back on the body, understanding and unpacking different emotions, and understanding how different parts of ourselves interact with each other to influence our perspectives on the world, our strengths, and our issues. If your goal is to play an active role in your treatment, and have a say in what your treatment looks like and goes while also appreciating a collaborative effort, then we may work very well together.

I applaud you for taking the first steps to find a therapist. I’m here to help if you’re ready to get started.
