Our minds are a complex interrelation between our brain, other somatic systems, our social context, and much else about our environment. Improving mental health calls for a creative and adaptive approach that takes all these factors into account. Treatment works by building together a safe environment so that you can investigate the way your life experiences have led to certain ways of being in regards to yourself, relationships, and our sociocultural environment. Once you recognize these patterns, you can move forward with agency in order to live life in accordance with your desires, values, and sense of an authentic self.
I have particular experience, skill, and interest in helping people with issues related to or including trauma, pregnancy, the postpartum phase, parenting, and the menstrual cycle. I investigate trauma recovery on an individual, interpersonal, and greater sociocultural level, and I work to incorporate principles of abolition and transformative justice.
I am available both for in-depth psychotherapy and for shorter-term less frequent treatment. Treatment with me often includes medication. I conduct all appointments via telehealth. I am out of network with all insurance companies but can provide a superbill for you to seek reimbursement for out-of-network care.
