Are you looking for holistic mental health care? Support that includes mind-body-spirit connection, informed care about trauma, disability justice, and neurodiversity, and exploration of relationship to self, loved ones, and community. Clients who are looking for understanding of greater sociopolitical context, identity development related to race, immigration status, gender and sexuality, culture, ability, and socioeconomic status.
I provide deep understanding of social, political and cultural experiences. I use my academic knowledge, clinical experience, and personal lived experience to provide compassionate, informed care. I offer therapy involving an integration of mindfulness, somatics, neuroscience, DBT, CBT, narrative therapy, relationship therapy, attachment lens, and more.
I use a gentle, direct approach to increase your self-awareness, connect you with your internal wisdom, and build your sense of agency in life. I work relationally with my clients, using humor, education, and deep compassion and curiosity to support healing and growth. If that sounds like what you are looking for in a therapist, please reach out today.
