I have experience working with children, teens, young adults, and couples in a variety of mental health settings. I enjoy working with individuals to address identity exploration, anxiety, and feelings of inadequacy. With couples and families, my work emphasizes relationship-building, effective communication, and conflict-resolution skills.
First and foremost, my work is always person-centered; empathy and collaboration are the core of my therapeutic approach. My role as your therapist is joining you on your journey to self-improvement and understanding, while being fully present and actively listening to ensure you feel heard and understood. I engage by drawing from my education and training to give insight, offer a new perspective, propose solutions, identify coping skills, and assist based on your individual needs.
I utilize different approaches and skills such as cognitive behavioral therapy, parts work, feminist theory in relation to marginalized identities, and narrative techniques to ensure that you feel empowered to tell your story and hold agency over its meaning.
I believe there is therapeutic value in shared experiences and as a queer-identifying therapist, I'm passionate about helping others in the LGBTQ+ community.
