I provide therapy that is warm, customized, and collaborative. I am committed to the continuous learning and unlearning that enables me to be responsive to the needs of my communities, particularly BIPOC & Trans/GNC/Queer clients. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, uncertain, uneasy, or depressed. I work with clients to contextualize these experiences fostering deeper insight, creative responses, meaning, and connection. I believe that therapeutic work extends beyond the therapy session and I emphasize systemic responses to systemic injustice.
I have received basic-training in EMDR, which uses bilateral stimulation to decrease the after-effects of trauma. I am currently completing certification with The Center for Body Trust where I have acquired skills to include and affirm bodies of all sizes in the pursuit of thriving.
I am drawn to therapy for its respect of the depth, scope, and complexities of all people. Outside of private practice, I enjoy cooking, being in nature, reading, learning user experience design, and if we're being real, reality tv. If you're considering reaching out, I'd be delighted to schedule a complimentary 20-minute consultation.
