Did your past leave scars that affect your present? Do you feel stuck, “on the run”, or just numb? Have you experienced oppression based on your gender, sexuality, or ethnicity? Here's how I can help: I provide a person-centered process that tackles current difficulties while exploring deeper experiences where issues are rooted so that you can find meaning and feel empowered. As an integrative psychotherapist, I work at the intersection of western psychology and eastern practices, bringing a variety of tools—talk, EMDR, mindfulness, art therapies, and CBT.
I have experience in anti-oppression, social justice practice and I employ principles of empowerment and liberation with a range of clients across age, race, ethnicity, culture, disability, sexual orientation, and gender identity, supporting people to gain a deeper understanding of their struggles, while working through them in the here-and-now.
I offer individual psychotherapy for adults coping with post-traumatic stress and anxiety, couples therapy for queer and polyamorous adults, and arts-based therapy for children. I have specific expertise in anxiety, relationship issues, and post-traumatic stress. I invite you to email me or call when you feel ready. I look forward to meeting you!
