I am a queer therapist who draws on my background in crisis advocacy to explore where the world failed us and how to take back power in the challenging times in life. I earned my M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles, and received my training in EMDR therapy to support clients processing trauma. I specialize in working with adults, LGBTQ+ clients, and individuals who have experienced complex trauma.
I believe each person is the expert of their own story. I work alongside you in a warm, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions. We will collaborate to build self-esteem, develop healthy boundaries, and strengthen relationships while exploring how systems of oppression can impact mental health. My therapy style is compassionate, direct, and client-centered. I use trauma informed and evidence-based methods including EMDR, internal family systems, CBT and DBT.
Our first session is where we begin getting to know each other. We’ll discuss your intake, personal history, and what your hopes are for counseling. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative environment where you feel comfortable opening up about what brings you to therapy.
