Not accepting new clients
***NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*** I work with adults and couples from diverse backgrounds. Using a collaborative, relational approach I help you with your struggles with anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, multicultural identity concerns, and life transitions. The foundation of my approach focuses on developing a shared understanding of your current struggles and how personal, relational, familial, and cultural experiences help shape your unique life circumstances. While doing this I help you expand and enrich your ability to cope so that you may be more empowered to generate change in your life.
I provide identity affirming therapy for transgender, non-binary, and gender expansive individuals, including assessments and referrals for gender affirming medical care. I am equally passionate about providing identity affirming care for the queer and LGB identified communities. I enjoy working with loved ones and allies of these communities as well.
I am passionate about working with people who experience complex trauma, developmental trauma, oppression, and minority stress. To help with this I integrate many therapy approaches, including Psychodynamic, Emotion Focused, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Multicultural approaches, and Attachment and Systems Theories.
