As a therapist who specializes in women's health, it is vital for me to see the world through your eyes and lived experiences. I offer integrative treatment modalities based on your preferences, often incorporating feminist and multicultural orientations. Safety is key when working with a new therapist, and it is my job to ensure every client feels supported in the therapy space. My specializations include perinatal mental health, trauma, parenting, sexuality, and perimenopause. I am a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and I am an open and affirming therapist who believes in equality, equanimity, and body autonomy.
Being a trauma focused therapist, I often incorporate feminist and multicultural theoretical orientations, examining the intersecting identities of every client. I view the therapy space as a collaborative experience and enjoy utilizing creative concepts including EMDR, yoga, somatic movement, and mindfulness in addition to traditional talk therapy.
Seeking therapy is a brave thing and finding the right therapist can be a daunting task. I hope that you have connected with my profile and take the time to reach out soon. I view my time with clients as a gift, and I look forward to learning more about your life and your goals in the therapy space.
