I see therapy as time dedicated to unpacking your thoughts and feelings. It's also a space to process past experiences that may have been confusing or painful. I believe it's crucial to have a trusting therapeutic relationship where you are genuinely seen and valued, allowing space for all your identities to be acknowledged and validated. Working with me, you will find an attentive, compassionate, and non-judgmental therapist. My clinical foundation is psychodynamic, relational, cognitive behavioral, and culturally attuned.
I will work to help you identify certain thoughts or behaviors that may not be serving you anymore; and find opportunities for change. I often find it's helpful to discuss unresolved conflicts, early life experiences, and deeper emotions. I believe that gaining insight into these leads to meaningful and lasting change.
I have particular experience working with LGBT+ identified folks and I'm proud to provide LGBT+ affirming therapy. I also specialize in anxiety, college students, high functioning professionals, interpersonal/relationship concerns, and couples.
