As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I have worked with a diverse population and understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I seek to help you on your unique path of self-empowerment and healing by addressing: current symptoms, the thought/emotional systems that may influence these symptoms, and the reactions to these systems that can act as barriers to challenging them in order to create broad and lasting growth. It is also important to incorporate your living situation and its impact on your well-being; stress and sadness as we address your challenges. While I work with all populations, my focus has been on providing sex-positive and kink-informed services to the LGBTQ+ population.

I see therapy as a collaborative process in which we work as a team to create realistic solutions that make sense for you. I pull from an eclectic range of therapeutic practices, including CBT, ACT, and insight-oriented modalities to address challenges through the development of introspection, improvement of symptom management, and increased distress tolerance in order to approach internal challenges with self-compassion and understanding.

I understand that reaching out can be intimidating for numerous reasons, confronting these barriers is an act of bravery. A free 15 minute consultation can help you decide if I am a good fit, while minimizing feelings of obligation and time/financial costs. Feel free to email me with questions/concerns about services as well. I hope to hear from you soon.
