I provide individual therapy to adults. My clinical experience has led me to be well-equipped to address a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and concerns related to gender, identity, and sexuality. My approach is rooted in the belief that insight into our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, can help us strengthen our sense of self and thus engage with the world in a more authentic way. I believe every person has the potential to discover their purpose and that recognizing and embracing it can bring relief from suffering.
Throughout therapy, I hold thoughtful consideration for your unique life experiences and your intersecting identities. My approach is sex-positive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and anti-racist. I strive to incorporate ideas about identity development and the influence of political and social forces to bring greater depth and significance to your self-exploration.
It is my sincere mission to help you navigate distressing emotions and experiences that may feel overwhelming or burdensome. I can help you build skills and knowledge but most importantly, offer an opportunity to develop a deeper sense of meaning and a more authentic sense of self. If you believe we could be a good fit, I encourage you to reach out.
