I am queer and multiracial. Diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility are my personal and professional values.My work is informed by frameworks like antiracism, social justice, feminism, and anti-imperialism. I bring authenticity and genuine empathy to each client, pairing these with effective and approachable therapeutic interventions that research says work.
My clinical specialties include low and fluctuating mood, anxiety, substance use, and trauma. I've worked for multiple years providing 1:1 therapy and in inpatient hospital settings. I also have specialized training in sex, intimacy, and relationship issues.
Collaboration with my clients is core to my work. I work with each client to create an open and safe space in which they feel like an equal. We formulate their therapy goals together. And then, we collaborate to achieve their goals. Along the way, I provide a mix empathy and compassion; objectivity; education; and stepwise challenges.
I'm also a Psychology Professor and health researcher. I believe we are all, simultaneously, teachers and learners. Thus, I aim to both teach and learn from my clients. To me, therapy is about providing clients with the tools they need to experience life more happily, and then helping them practice using those tools in a supportive, structured setting.
