What to expect from me
My approach to therapy
As an LGBTQ+, anti-racist, and unapologetically liberal therapist, my practice is built on social justice, client’s right to self- determination, and connection. I believe therapy is a relationship between two people, not a dynamic where I hold all the answers. My approach is fundamentally trauma-informed and person-centered
My values
My core values are honesty, loyalty, compassion, autonomy, and knowledge. In practice, this means I'm a gentle but direct therapist; I'll offer my thoughts and opinions rather than just the classic 'How does that make you feel?' I am fiercely supportive of my clients, always honoring your choices because I recognize decisions are shaped by unique lived experiences. Especially with trauma, there's vast space for compassion and self-forgiveness. My value of knowledge drives me to help you understand the significant impacts trauma has on both the brain and body.
