Welcome! Just existing can be hard, and my goal is to shine a light in the dark. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Adult ADHD Specialist, I have 7 years of experience working with a diverse range of folks addressing challenges related to trauma, marginalized identities, executive functioning, anxiety, mood, relationships, life transitions, and body image. My work is trauma-informed and I am trained in EMDR.
My approach is identity-affirming, warm, and client-centered. Previous clients have said that my humor and authenticity helped them feel comfortable in therapy. I combine EMDR and elements of relational therapy, parts work, CBT, DBT, and SFBT. I consider you the expert on yourself and I have an array of tools to meet you where you are. My goal is to provide a comfortable space to understand yourself better, explore how experiences have shaped you, and learn tangible strategies to make life more manageable.
In our first session we will explore what is bringing you to therapy and what you want to get out of the experience. If you've done therapy before, I'm curious about what has been helpful and unhelpful. If you're new to therapy, I'm curious about your expectations, worries, and hopes. Together we can identify what is not working for you and create a plan to reduce distress and bring more ease to your life.
