My approach to therapy is based in narrative therapy, as well as humanistic, client-centered, integrative, and trauma-informed practices. Together, we can work to uncover and reclaim the narratives of your life. We will in no way dismiss the hardships you have faced, rather, we can honor these experiences through thoughtful reflection. Through this process, we can collaborate to cultivate more balance, purpose, acceptance, and growth in your life. I strive to always acknowledge how systemic oppression affects my clients lives. Therapy is political! I hope to facilitate exploration that can lead to liberation and further resiliency

Clinical experience includes trauma, depression, life transitions, anxiety, OCD, grief/loss, existential concerns, career/college stress, and mood disorders. I see individuals ages 18+. As a member of the queer community, I feel passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ individuals. I practice through a queer feminist lens, using mostly narrative therapy & ACT.

I am currently participating in narrative therapy trainings provided by the Dulwich Centre. I also receive clinical supervision 1x week. I enjoy incorporating journaling, poetry, and art into therapy with clients who are also interested in these forms of self-expression. If you love processing through art, TV, movies, video games, I may be a good fit!
