I approach my therapeutic work with an emphasis on relationship-building, playfulness, and respect. Rooted firmly in evidenced-based treatment approaches, my clients and I then collaborate, designing goals and adapting treatment to best fit an individual's needs. I aim to provide trauma-informed care which includes both an understanding of how trauma impacts the brain and body as well as the ongoing trauma of being in a marginalized community. I am committed to providing antiracist and anticolonial, Queer and Trans affirming, and neurodiverse affirming care.

I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Exposure Therapy, Multisystemic Therapy and I am currently receiving ongoing training in comprehensive DBT. My goal is to create a reflective and supportive environment as well as contribute concrete skills clients can use in their day-to-day lives.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

In initial sessions, clients and I discuss what they want their life after therapy to look like and what's getting in their way. We then use this to set therapeutic goals and I draw on Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral therapeutic modalities to support this. I am to give clients concrete tools and clear goals while maintaining flexibility and client-directed care.
