I am passionate about providing LGBTQ+ affirming care, and recognize the unique challenges these communities face. I have expertise working with themes of gender and sexuality, identity formation, and HIV/AIDS.
I love working with all genders, including women and women's issues. I am aligned with Health at Every Size, body positivity, radical self acceptance, and fat liberation frameworks. I am affirming of consensual non-monogamy and BDSM/Kink lifestyles.
Additionally, I have significant training and experience serving migrant and refugee populations of all ages.
My therapeutic style is warm, relational, and client-centered. I am firmly rooted in feminist and trauma-informed frameworks. I specialize in the relational healing of trauma, mood disorders, and panic/anxiety disorders. I also have expertise providing crisis intervention and de-escalation, and working within a medical setting.
I recognize the profound impact that structural dynamics of power and oppression have on individual’s lives, and welcome the intersections of my clients’ visible and invisible identities, aiming to co-create a safe space together for difficult conversations that allow clients to bring their full selves into the therapy room.
