Client comfort is my top priority. I believe growth happens best when we feel safe, seen and secure. My therapeutic style is influenced by anti-racist theory and queer studies. I work within a disability friendly, body positive, poly/kink affirming, LGBTQIA+ friendly, and anti-racist framework. And, as a neurodivergent clinician, I strive to create an environment that is welcoming for all neurotypes.
I work with individuals and families, ages 10+. I believe in reducing the separation of physical and mental wellbeing to help each of my clients thrive holistically. I received my Master's degree from University of Michigan, and have additional training in CBT, TF-CBT, DBT and MI. I use aspects of each of these modalities to tailor treatment to your goals.
I am thrilled that you have decided to start this mental health journey, and I am equally thrilled to be a part of it! If you have any questions, please reach out. The number listed will direct you to our access team, who will take your information and get you on my schedule. Please send an email if you would like to reach me directly!
