Are you wishing for better relationships? Feeling anxious, down, lost, or wondering about the meaning of life? Would you like to feel more confident? Hoping to heal after trauma? Going through loss or life transition? We need lots of self-compassion so we can heal and find a better approach to our lives and relationships. I offer a non-judgmental space to be open about your struggles and explore what it means to live in your values. It is through our common humanity that I relate to my clients. I believe the struggles we face also occur in the systems of race, class, gender, sexuality, age, ability, religion, and national identity.
I specialize in couples and individuals with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, PTSD, grief, loss, miscarriage, food/body issues, anger, self-harm, mood disorders, life transitions, relationship issues, sex life, teen issues, parenting, domestic violence, sexual abuse and assault. I am LGBTQIA, kink, & poly friendly.
I am warm and interactive. I use deep listening, psychoeducation, and humor as I help you trust in yourself while centering your goals for change. My approach includes: Psychodynamic, Family Systems, Humanistic, Internal Family Systems, Emotion Focused, Narrative, CBT, DBT, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Existentialism, Secular Buddhism, and Feminism.
