Drawing on a variety of tools, we will collaborate on a treatment plan that fits your needs, goals, and values. My approach to therapy is emotive, cathartic, and cognitive. I work with people with many identities and from diverse backgrounds. Let's work together to explore and clarify who you are, how you got here, and what works best for you in all aspects of life. It’s important to acknowledge that we are all affected by toxic aspects of our culture and many of us operate under different axes of oppression. It’s never too late to reclaim your agency in life.
As a trauma-informed therapist and drug counselor, I stress evidence-based approaches to healing. I work to improve outcomes regarding anxiety, depression, and other issues, including the unique ones which affect LGBTQIA+ folk, people in nontraditional relationships. and kinksters. I emphasize self-acceptance, harm reduction, and sex positivity.
As your therapist, I see myself as an advisor and an ally. We may use various approaches: cognitive-behavioral to help you take back control of your life; psychodynamic “talk” to clarify your thoughts, needs, and goals; motivational enhancement to help you put it all into action; and narrative therapy to clarify the story of your past, present, and future.
