Through an attachment-based framework, curiosity, mindfulness, and somatically-informed self-regulation, we can learn to approach the ebbs and flows of life.

I am a compassionate and empathetic outpatient therapist. My specialties encompass depression, personality disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), adolescent behavioral issues, couples therapy, anxiety, and domestic violence.

I am also deeply committed to delivering culturally sensitive therapy, ensuring that I work to honor and integrates the cultural backgrounds and values of my clients.

My professional philosophy revolves around the belief in each individual’s inherent worth and potential. I am devoted to helping clients navigate their mental health journeys in a supportive and non-judgmental setting. My ultimate aim is to foster personal growth, emotional healing, and overall well-being for each and every client I have the priveledge of working with.

I believe that human relationships are the basis of personal well-being, and see the therapy room as a place to develop a model for honest communication and healthy dynamics. I believe our bodies are an invaluable source of information, and I strive to bring clients into their immediate, felt experience while they sit with me.

My approach is empathetic, humanistic, and present-centered, and aims to help clients understand and live in attunement with their own needs and values. My work is grounded in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT); I am presently undergoing education in psychoanalysis & Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) therapy.

A social worker since 2006, my practice has been shaped by ACT, DBT, CBT, ERP, motivational interviewing, narrative and family therapy, contemplative practices, social systems, feminist, and gender theory, film criticism. I have completed Level 1 of the Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and use this model in my work with couples.

My work is grounded in social systems theory and aims to help people understand the ways that trauma and oppression impact upon their lives. A guiding principle in my work is helping clients to clarify their values and begin to take steps towards embodying these values in practical ways.

My clinical work since 2017 has concentrated on working with members of the LGBTQIA+ population(s), where I have helped individuals, couples, groups, and families.
