Being fully present with my clients as they navigate their own experience was always a professional aspiration, and it has become one of my highest joys. I enjoy celebrating each individual in their entirety, validating their worth, and being a witness to their life. I also deeply connect with the decolonization of therapy. As a clinical social worker in my final year of graduate school, I believe that overarching systems and social structures contribute to psychological distress.
My therapuetic approach is one of collaboration, empathy, and presence. I weave a range of different modalities into my approach to therapy, including psychodynamic practice, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectic behavioral therapy, contemplative and mindfulness-based practices, trauma-informed care, and decolonization theory.
In our work together, I willshift and shape my approach to meet your needs and be present with you. I enjoy my work with youth, adolescents, and adults from all walks of life who are navigating a variety of experiences, including but not limited to, neurodiversity, LGBTQIA2S+ identities, substance misuse and recovery, harm reduction, ambiguous loss, femmeid.
