As a therapist, I aim to foster a safe and authentic space where my clients are able to openly process their thoughts, emotions, struggles, and behaviors without judgment. I greatly enjoy supporting the process of self-exploration, delving into one’s past as a means to better understand their present, and celebrating and empowering the strength and resilience of my clients. I deeply believe in one’s right to self-determination, that each individual is the expert in their own life, and that we are all deserving of a space to feel heard, emotionally held, and supported in our mental health journey.
My approach is person-centered and strengths based, utilizing a blend of techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, solutions-focused therapy (SFT), and mindfulness. I also weave in tenants from attachment theory, systems theory, trauma-informed practice, and motivational interviewing.
As a queer social worker, I strive to create a safe and affirming space for folx within the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as am passionate about providing culturally sensitive and responsive care to every individual, especially to those with marginalized identities. I look forward to supporting you in your healing journey!
