About My Clients
It's not just you. Countless people are feeling lost, unmoored, and stuck in old patterns, and the usual/traditional "how does that make you feel?" therapy can sometimes feel lacking. With over 8 years in the mental health field, both as a Mental Health Counselor and Psychologist, I recognize that mental health is so much more than what is happening internally. Tackling everything alone can feel incredibly daunting.
My Background and Approach
My approach to therapy is collaborative, empowering, and abolitionist centered. I work with my clients to create a customized treatment plan that addresses their specific needs and goals. My integrative practice includes working from a psychodynamic, attachment, and relational perspective—as well as using CBT, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, and mindfulness-based modalities as needed. I have training and experience working with children, adolescents, and adults from a wide variety of cultural, racial, and socioeconomic backgrounds who have a range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, and trauma. I have received training in LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy and issues related to racial identity, sexuality, gender identity, as well as neurodiverse profiles.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My work is rooted in the belief that mental health cannot be addressed in isolation from other aspects of a person's life, such as their physical health, relationships, community, and broader social issues and oppressive systems. I am a strong advocate for community-based approaches to mental health and believe that social support and a sense of belonging are crucial for mental wellness. Rather than simply treating symptoms, I work in community with clients to address the underlying causes of their mental health concerns and how they interact in a late stage capitalist society to develop a comprehensive plan for healing, wellness, and creating strong community ties. My practice aims to disrupt transgenerational patterns and work in community with you to enhance your ability to get your needs met, make choices with more insight, and support you through life’s uncertainty. All of you is welcome and know that you are not alone. I will be with you every step of the way!
