I see therapy as a collaborative effort where clients are "driving" while I help them navigate the terrain ahead. We look into the past to inform the way forward - making sense of what was to allow you access to an expanded sense of self. We work to cultivate self-compassion and self-awareness so that you can be best informed on which direction you'd like to go in life. Let's work together toward your goals!
I have worked with people on a variety of topics: depression, anxiety, complex trauma, queer issues, relationships/love/attachment, minority stress, occupational stress, and overall mental health maintenance. I am proud to be an LGBT affirmative practitioner. I work from a psychodynamic lens, IFS-informed, and provide EMDR therapy.
Clients can expect warmth, openness, and an empathic inquisitiveness to help them reflect on the material that they are bringing into the room. I am here not only to reflect and validate, but also offer interpretations of the material so that you can see things from different perspectives and derive new meanings from your experience.
