As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, a trauma survivor, and someone with a chronic pain disorder; I approach the work that I do from a place of empathy and personal understanding. I have an intense passion for understanding personal identity and the way race, culture, class, and sexuality come together to form what we believe about ourselves and what we feel we can accomplish in our lives. Anxiety and trauma can live in our bodies - together we will create a relationship that fosters dynamic and lasting growth, tapping into undiscovered reserves of resiliency that will help navigate the past and prepare for a more hopeful future.
My educational background is in psychodynamic theory, identifying patterns from childhood, and working to break through harmful paradigms. However, I am dedicated to meeting my clients where they are, and I can bring a number of therapeutic modalities into our sessions, including DBT, Trauma Based Approaches, and CBT. I value a multidisciplinary approach.
I strive to create a safe space that encourages bravery and fosters resilience. I believe that connection and a sense of belonging are among the most important things a human being can have in life, and I want to encourage you to speak openly and honestly about your experiences. I want you to come as you are, and will meet you where you are.
