In terms of diagnoses, I treat those with difficult life experiences, trauma, family/relationship conflicts, anxiety, depression, substance use issues, low self-esteem and anger issues.
I believe that each client is the expert on their own life and it's my job to find them the right tools. In my practice the most important task I undertake is empowering my clients. Work, relationships, mental health issues and life in general are extremely difficult to cope with and above all, people need to hear that their feelings about these areas are real. After all, this is what guides people to what's most important in life. In order to do this I provide a trusting, non-judgmental, and empathetic therapeutic relationship.

I am trained in Integrative Harm Reduction Psychotherapy (IHRP), which focuses on treating substance use issues from a collaborative, empowering, and non-agenda pushing approach.
Our mental health does not exist in a vacuum, it exists within a system. I see the source of all mental health issues as being rooted in the forces of oppression inherent in our society. The issues we each struggle with are responses to these conditions, rather than an individual ailment that exists only within us. My approach to therapy supports clients in deprogramming from the traumas of life under patriarchy, capitalism, and white supremacy. My expertise is working with addiction from a harm reduction approach and with people undergoing psychedelic therapy, but I also work with clients who have other treatment goals.
