Pronouns: they/them
As a therapist, I aim to collaborate with clients to build a space of exploration and play. I understand that starting or continuing therapy takes a lot of courage and that people may have had unfulfilling or even traumatic experiences with therapeutic institutions in the past. With this in mind, I take a person-centered, abolitionist approach, emphasizing clients’ self-determination and privileging their own goals and desires. I see my role as supporting you in creating a more meaningful, satisfying life–as you define it.
My therapeutic approach is empathetic, nonjudgmental, and authentic. I approach my work with an intersectional lens and an understanding of the great impact systems and institutions have on individuals’ lives. I aim to meet client’s needs by drawing from various modalities and theoretical orientations, including psychodynamic therapy, relational-cultural theory, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In the past, I have worked with people experiencing extreme states, eating concerns and disorders, anxiety, and depression. I also have particular experience and interest in working with people navigating their gender identity, sexuality, and relationships of all kinds.
