Great to meet you!

I specialize in helping folks explore a deeper understanding of themselves to help them build strengths and overcome challenges. I work with folks around trauma healing, gender and sexual identity exploration, developing healthy conflict and attachment styles, combating addiction, and building sincere connection to self and others.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is grounded in liberation psychology, feminist theory, and systems theory. I provide space for clients to explore ways to build their strengths and better understand how to overcome their challenges. I utilize trauma-focused CBT, DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness.
