I offer a nonjudgemental atmosphere in which to speak freely on any topic. I will listen and engage with curiosity, sensitivity, and a genuine desire to discover your complex inner world and unique lived experience. Throughout this process, we will explore your experience as well as its reverberations through time. As you speak, I will listen closely for the unconscious and intervene to emphasize and reveal it. We will also investigate dreams/daydreams and particulars of speech. Together, we will work to uncover what hinders a deeper sense of wellbeing, and I will accompany you in navigating and integrating whatever may emerge.

It can be difficult to ask for help, and even more difficult to find the best fit in a therapist. As a trauma-informed queer polyamorous biracial therapist, I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental. My clinical background includes work with individuals managing co-occurring disorders, difficulties related to identity (e.g. racial, cultural, gender, spirituality), Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar, ADHD, Autism, Trauma, PTSD, and grief. I work with individuals and couples at any point in their lifespan, though my background has primarily focused on young adults and families.

Having practiced psychotherapy and counseling for the past 25 years, I work to form an empathic relationship with clients and form a collaborative understanding of the difficulties that brought them to therapy, and how to best solve them. The goal is to find more satisfying relationships and fulfilling ways of being in the world. I work primarily from an Emotion-focused therapy (EFT) framework, although I have been trained in a variety of different psychotherapeutic methods. EFT is an empirically-supported approach that is flexible in that it allows the integration of other methods and techniques when necessary.

When your relationship is suffering, you're suffering. Oftentimes, terribly so. Maybe the partner you used to feel so close to now seems more like a distant stranger. Maybe a betrayal has left you outraged and alone. Maybe all the fighting and miscommunication makes you wonder at times what you ever saw in this person at all.
