My therapeutic style is influenced by anti-racist theory, feminist theory, and queer studies. I work within a disability friendly, body positive, poly/kink affirming, LGBTQIA+ friendly, and anti-racist framework. And, as a neurodivergent clinician, I strive to create an environment that is welcoming, safe and accommodating for all.
I work with individuals and families, ages 12+. I believe in reducing the separation of physical and mental wellbeing to help each of my clients thrive holistically. I received my Master's degree from University of Michigan, and have additional training in CBT, TF-CBT, DBT and MI. I use aspects of each of these modalities to tailor treatment to your goals.
Accessibility and client comfort are incredibly important to me.
