I am passionate about working collaboratively with my clients on their unique mental health goals. As a clinical social worker at a community mental health agency, I have experience working with folks struggling with their relationship with substances, complex trauma backgrounds, and more. I am committed to meeting my clients where they are at and working together to help overcome life's challenges. I embrace my queer identity, and I enjoy working with folks who identify as LGBTQIA+ and are looking for a clinician who is aware of the specific challenges and intersectional issues we face within our community.
I take a trauma-informed, relational, person-centered approach to therapy. I have training in various therapy modalities including DBT, EMDR and psychodynamic. I am committed to providing my clients with a safe, nonjudgmental space to show up authentically in every session.
I know how difficult it can be to pursue therapy, and I commend you for taking this step. If you would like to talk further to see if it would be a good fit, please email me to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation. I welcome people from all backgrounds in my practice, and I strive to meet my clients with cultural humility and sensitivity.
