About My Clients
Your authentic self is welcome. Everyone needs someone to witness, accept, and value their weirdness -- especially folks who have been rejected for being different.
My Background and Approach
As a licensed, clinical social worker (LICSW), I have training and experience in working with individuals and families using a strengths-based, trauma informed, and intersectional lens. That means I see the best in you, do my best to not retraumatize you, and honor all your different roles and identities. Since 2017, I've worked with folks who experience stressors and traumas in multiple aspects of their lives, including homophobia, transphobia, racism, systemic oppression, unstable housing, financial instability, and more. In addition to a generalist practice (things like depression, anxiety, adjustment disorder), I have significant experience in working with members of the LGBTQ+ community. My training and experience includes writing letters of support for transgender and gender diverse teens and young adults seeking gender-affirming health care. I'm not here to be a gatekeeper. I'm here to help you get the care you deserve.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My greatest gift as a therapist is empathy. My counseling style is flexible, and always incorporates humor. One of my core beliefs as a therapist is that everyone needs someone to witness, accept, and value their weirdness -- especially folks who have been rejected for being different. I am passionate about psychoeducation, because I believe that understanding why and how something is happening can be healing.
