Psychotherapist, Supervisor

Adults & Families

Telehealth Only

In my work as a psychotherapist I embrace a holistic view of the individual, encouraging clients to consider how their sense of self effects their symptoms, functioning, and experience of the world around them. My approach is person-centered; meeting a client where they are and helping identify areas they would like to explore. This person centered approach allows me to use a blend of modalities tailored to the individual’s goal and growth.

To guide this collaborative treatment, I integrate several modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic, and relational therapies along with mindfulness techniques. Together we can work toward addressing the impact of your mental health diagnosis and/or stressors in your life, which can result in loss of enjoyment, relational difficulties, financial struggles, and self-motivation.

My previous roles in varied settings within the mental health field and anti-violence work has provided a unique perspective that informs my current practice with individuals. I have experience working with individuals on a range of issues including those related to mood disorders, anxiety disorders (GAD, PTSD, OCD), experiences of trauma, LGBTI, TGNC, HIV positive diagnosis, monogamous and polyamorous relationships, sex work, and exploration of sexual orientation and identity.
