My Approach to Helping

I believe that self-acceptance is the cornerstone to emotional wellness. Peace does not come from the absence of stress and struggle, but in one's ability to be comfortable living with it. I view my work through the lens of anti-oppression: I acknowledge the impact that systemic, cultural, and societal expectations have on our daily existence and sense of self. We all carry with us a unique set of intersecting identities, which, taken together, influence our life experiences and shape our worldview. I believe that the foundation of emotional health exists in the exploration of these identities and the radical acceptance of our whole selves.

More Info About My Practice

I enjoy working with individuals from all walks of life, and employ an eclectic, culturally sensitive approach to mental health services. Because each person is unique, I draw on a variety of practice and evidence-based theoretical orientations and styles tailored to your specific treatment goals and needs. I believe that effective therapy is a collaborative process between clinician and client, and above all else, I strive to offer a safe space in which to explore your personal barriers to positive growth, and provide non-judgmental guidance and compassionate challenging of the patterns and behaviors that stand in your way.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

While I'm happy to offer my strengths based, client centered services to anyone who walks through my door, I have particular interest and experience in treating individuals coping with anxiety, depression, and related mood disorders, addiction, life transitions, trauma, and issues specific to the LGBTQIA+ community.
