Accepting Clients

Change can require a great deal of vulnerability- it takes courage even to reach out and begin therapy. I honor and respect that courage.

About My Clients

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression or coping with a transition you've made or want to make? My goal is to help each person I work with nurture and appreciate their strengths whilst growing in their capacity for insight and acceptance. We will work together to identify patterns that no longer serve you, and find healthier ways of being, no matter where you are in your life course.

My Background and Approach

I have extensive training as a psychotherapist (MSW, plus postgraduate training), and integrate elements from different treatment models to find an approach that works best for each individual. I specialize in the treatment of a range of issues including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, gender dysphoria, trauma, self-destructive behavior, and perinatal mental health.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I strongly believe in meeting my clients where they are, and that they know best what they need- my role is to collaborate with them in this process and treat them with dignity and respect. I am a pro-choice feminist, an LGBTQ ally, and care deeply about racial justice.
