I work with adults and teens of varying cultural backgrounds struggling with issues including, but not limited to, LGBTQ+ issues, gender identity issues, body image, self-esteem issues, depression, anxiety, grief, sexuality, PTSD, and personality disorder.
Working from a multicultural perspective that employs a Person-centered approach, I am able to gain a holistic perspective of you. Throughout your therapy, we will collaborate as we tend to your inner life; both the light and shadow. I will listen to you closely with care and curiosity, and without judgment.
