My clients present a spectrum of needs including navigating substance use, relational distress, chronic health issues, and productivity burnout. Often I assist clients interested in exploring impacts of capitalism, social disenfranchisement, and unhelpful narratives that can create negative self-talk, feelings of hopelessness, and existential anxiety. I identify as part of the queer community and work to support LGBTQIA clients in connecting to community, establishing boundaries, and exploring internalized messages that can impact self-esteem, communication skills, and destructive patterns.
As an LMFT with specialized training in art therapy, I believe that art provides opportunities to explore unspoken feelings, needs, and memories that may be hard to verbalize. I take a client-centered, trauma-informed approach to identifying tools for managing distress, and changing undesired patterns, through the lens of experiential and abolitionist theory
My hope is to reduce feelings of isolation, alienation, and existential dread by assisting clients in reframing their role in the world, and finding new tools to manage overwhelming emotions. I look forward to offering safety, compassion, and collaboration.
