My focus in therapy is to build a trusting relationship which inspires self-discovery and a greater capacity for change. I tend to use a relational style with curiosity, humor, and compassion to support people in understanding and coping with mental health symptoms, learning better communication skills in relationships, and exploring patterns and their origins. I work with adolescents and adults, and particularly enjoy working with those seeking support for anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, and identity development, particularly LGBTQ+ specific conversations.
I approach therapy through lenses of developmental and systems theories, and strive to create an environment which recognizes the impacts of trauma and systemic oppression. My style draws from a variety of techniques, but it is most important to me that in therapy, we can co-create a process that feels affirmative and accessible for you.
Regardless of if you've been to therapy before, beginning the process can feel like a big step! If you have questions or would like to see whether I might be a good fit for what you're looking for, feel free to reach out. I'd be happy to connect, and honored to join in your healing process.
