Has life been feeling like a constant struggle? Do you find yourself working to the point of exhaustion without any sense of satisfaction? Are you concerned about managing your bills and frustrated by feeling undervalued by society? Internalized capitalism may be a contributing factor. This expanding field of study examines the impacts of capitalism on social justice and mental health, with far-reaching effects that likely play a role in the development of many mental health disorders.

My practice works to help clients examine their own internalized messaging and behaviors that have helped them cope with the injustices of our society. I utilize evidence based cognitive behavioral therapies, existentialism, and the emerging liberation health model to empower clients to take control of their mental health and their world.

Go beyond your diagnosis and build a world that allows you to be who you want to be!

I work with my clients to identify the ways in which our socially unjust society has affected them. We examine internalized messages and life circumstances that have their roots in social injustice. Then we work together to develop actionable steps that can be taken to empower my clients to fight for change.
