I celebrate diversity, and seek to help individuals understand how their identities and the social world around them impact their mental wellness. My specializations are identity (including sexual, gender, ethnic and religious), relationships/marriage, and chronic pain and disability. I use a variety of tools with a foundation of nonjudgemental, affirmative therapy. Together, we will use tools that suit your strengths and needs to explore issues related to identity, self esteem, depression, anxiety, grief, interpersonal relationships, and more.
I specialize in diversity-focused therapy and understanding how you experience the world. I hone in on emotions and body awareness, while challenging thought patterns that may not be helping you. When we look at our full experience, we allow ourselves multiple opportunities for change and development.
Therapy can be an intimidating process, even when we know how freeing it can be to make changes in your life. The strongest investment you can make is in yourself! I encourage you to reach out and set up a no-risk, free phone consultation so that you can ask any questions you have before commiting to therapy.
