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.
I use a client-centered and collaborative approach, and incorporate techniques used in relational, cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, mindfulness, and narrative therapies. I am passionate about my work and endeavor to be a life-long learner so that I can continue to assist clients to the best of my ability. I am also sex positive and kink informed.
I see therapy as a journey where we can work together to find the path you feel is right for you. I understand that taking this next step in contacting someone can be scary; I am here to listen and support you.
