I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and EMDR-trained therapist accepting individuals and families for therapy. I strive to create a space where people feel comfortable expressing themselves honestly and it’s possible to better understand, navigate, and heal from challenging experiences over time. It's important to me to acknowledge the impact of socioeconomic and historical conditions on people’s lives. I am particularly committed to supporting people of color and others from marginalized communities to overcome trauma and hardships, and to experience more joy, love, and fulfillment in their lives.
I draw on various strategies (EMDR, relational, CBT, psychoanalytic, narrative) and tailor my approach to the needs and goals of my clients--what is effective and helpful. I strive to center my practice within anti-oppressive, harm reduction, and restorative justice frameworks to get at the roots of problems and resolve or mitigate them in sustainable ways.
Acknowledging we can use help and pursuing therapy can be uncomfortable and overwhelming. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me and tell me a little bit about what you're seeking therapy for. I'll schedule a time for us to talk over the phone, answer your questions, and see if I might be a good fit as your therapist. I look forward to hearing from you.
