I approach therapy through a non-pathologizing, trauma-informed, and harm reduction lens and understand that the client is the expert of their own experience. I view the clinical relationship as a tool for healing.
With a special emphasis on the impacts of oppression, I help clients of diverse identities understand themselves better and learn to tackle new challenges with confidence.

In our sessions, we'll build a strong bond grounded in radical validation and support, making sure you always feel recognized and valued.
We change when something is emotionally important. We will explore what gets your attention and use that energy to your advantage. Self-Care can be challenging but we have to get it in there somehow. Alienation, anger, fear, hurt, guilt can haunt us.

When we drive we have blind spots. When we live we have blind spots. To improve awareness we will explore your inner world, feel it, think about it, give it words or images and be creative thinkers. We can use books, movies, dreams or music to help.
Develop coping skills that can be useful both now and in the future. We will also work to identify negative thoughts, practice new skills, problem solve, and set goals so that you can fully live in the present moment.

An Integrative approach uses multiple approaches to help clients. In most cases, this means a combination of psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and humanistic therapies. The approach is flexible and based on the needs of the client.
Together, we will collaborate to create a treatment plan that is specific and focused on creating behavioral change. Throughout therapy you will learn the skills to overcome your current issues and better cope with them in the future.

My approach is both direct and caring, with a touch of humor to keep our conversations relaxed and engaging. I strive to create an environment where you feel comfortable and supported, without taking things too seriously.
