I'm an abolitionist therapist and work from a life-affirming, anti-pathologizing lens. I have extensive experience working with the following challenges: identity exploration, relationship challenges, trauma, with an emphasis on sexual trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, and dis/ability. I also enjoy working with clients who are navigating grief and loss, safer substance use, and self-esteem. I am committed to working in partnership to create collective liberation for all of us. I believe in interrelatedness and accountability. I believe in working together to create a world where we all can be our full, authentic selves.
My practice is centered on understanding your past and how it informs your current story. I draw from psychodynamic theory, polyvagal theory, acceptance and commitment therapy, narrative liberatory therapy, and emotion-focused therapy.
You are brave and courageous to seek out therapy. This shit can be tough, but we can do it. I would be honored and excited to partner with you on your journey.

I work with clients who may be struggling with their mental health as a result of relationships, past trauma, and/or systemic oppression. During our initial sessions, we'll get to know each other at a pace that feels good to you and discuss your experiences, thoughts and feelings. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the few months and sustained improvement thereafter."
