I work alongside individuals, couples, and groups who are seeking to address experiences of grief, depression, anxiety, relational conflict, racial trauma, LGBTQIA+ issues, spiritual abuse, PTSD, and COVID related issues. Together we will explore the ways that therapy can assist you towards achieving your personal goals for wellbeing. Healing and transformation is a lifestyle and we all require assistance in cultivating a life that will help us navigate unavoidable difficulties. Isolation works against these efforts which is why seeking therapy is truly one of the best things you can offer yourself.

I work with clients from a strengths-based perspective, focusing on resilience development and a collaborative process. I take into consideration where the child or adolescent is truly at and what is going to best engage them—be it artistic expression, play therapy, narrative therapy, creative writing/journaling, or more structured interventions. I focus on the fulfilled development of the whole individual, taking into account a systems approach, intersectionality, and developmental psychology. My approach is deeply rooted in attachment theory; focusing on developing a healthy bond to better facilitate trust and overall growth.

I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults who might be struggling to make sense of the complicated world that we live in. Despite our connectivity, it seems that we live in a time in which individuals and families are more isolated than ever before. I truly believe that we all need and desire a village — a network of support and care to help us when needed. It is my aim to be that extra form of support. I am here to help individuals and families navigate the more difficult hurdles and to find ways to work towards creating more peaceful, authentic, and connected lives.

Working with clients has been both a personal and professional honor and privilege. Life is a journey filled with desired or undesired opportunities for growth. My approach is deeply rooted in connection while we work together to navigate all of life's moments. I like to use techniques and interventions from Family Systems and Solution Focused Therapy.

Therapy can feel intimidating to step into and so I hope to meet every client where they are at, whether they have been to therapy before or not. I don't believe you need to have a huge "reason" to reach out for therapy, rather a desire for healing and wholeness in your life and relationships. As a queer therapist, I hold a unique understanding of some of the challenges LGBTQIA+ folks face as they navigate the complex and beautiful journey of living their authentic life and hope to walk alongside them in that journey.

I approach therapy with compassion, humor and curiosity. I enjoy working with clients with obsessional fears and urges, and compulsive behaviors that get in the way of their lives. I'm certified by the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is a cognitive behavioral therapy approach specific to treating OCD. I use ERP in tandem with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which is a transdiagnostic approach that is also effective in treating OCD and related disorders.

“Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you doesn’t mean you need to do it alone.” - Lisa Olivera. Change isn’t easy—I don’t need to tell you that. You’ve been trying to do this on your own for a while now. You may feel stuck, wondering how you can get out of your self-defeating patterns, move forward from trauma or grief, or gain more self-confidence to reach your goals. If you face systemic oppression due to being BIPOC, LGBTQ, an immigrant, or disabled, you have probably faced even more obstacles to your healing, including in the therapy room. I’m here to help with culturally informed, compassionate care.
