My therapeutic approach is to offer support and guidance while creating a safe and collaborative environment for my clients. I encourage curiosity and self-reflection, as I believe insight and learning about oneself are important steps toward healing.
I work with adults and young adults experiencing depression, anxiety, grief/loss, relational conflict, complex family dynamics and identity development. I have particular expertise working with trauma, disrupted attachment and forensic issues. I take an anti-oppressive approach and am especially sensitive to multicultural conflict and the impact of systems.
I am currently in network for several insurances while also working with out-of-network benefits. I would be happy to help you maximize your insurance benefits. To inquire about my current availability and schedule an appointment please contact me via email.
