Authenticity, self-acceptance, and social justice are the tenets that guide my work as a therapist. Through our work cultivating an affirming and nonjudgemental relationship, and drawing from our lived experiences, I will support you in deconstructing what is causing ongoing distress, help facilitate insight and empowerment, and foster building hea
So you want to go to therapy because you keep hearing from everyone and their dog that it really works and can make you "feel better" or "unstuck".

Emotional symptoms that cause depression, anger, and anxiety can accompany these problems, often outweighing an individual's ability to cope and effectively attend to daily roles and responsibilities.
