About My Clients
I work primarily with anxiety, depression, low self-worth, relationship issues, life transitions, and identity exploration. I also work with issues of sexual wellness, and I am staunchly sex-positive, kink-knowledgeable, and nonmonogamy-affirmative. I also have a lot of experience working with college students. If your particular concern doesn't fall into one of these categories, that's okay. I'd still love to talk to figure out whether I might be a good fit for you.
My Background and Approach
Life is complicated. Messy. Painful. And it’s easy to lose sight of life’s beauty and joy when we’re hurting. I believe the human connection we form through therapy is key to healing and growth, as confronting pain and suffering together allows life’s beauty and joy to re-emerge. If you choose to work with me, I will use our connection to determine when and how to shift in and out of various roles. I will likely become a sort of co-investigator with you, as we work together to examine the unique facets of your life and your mind in order to pave a path forward. At times, I may enter into a mentorship or teaching role, pulling from my own knowledge base to offer new perspectives or ideas. I may take on the role of a supportive comrade who sits with you in your pain. Our work together would likely involve a combination of these and more. But above all, we will engage together as fellow human beings living in this complex world, with the shared endeavor of improving your well-being.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I'm committed to my own lifelong learning and growth as a psychologist and as a person. I won't pretend to have all the answers, but I will do all that I can to figure out the answers together with you. I can also promise that I'm not going to judge you. However weird, or shameful, or embarrassing you think something is, I will respond with curiosity and interest. I'm interested in what makes you different. Remember that good therapy relies on the fit between you and me. If something about my profile resonated with you, I would love to talk more. If you’re not sure about therapy or about whether I can help, maybe we can figure that out together. I’d like to hear your story. NOTE: I will be on maternity leave July through October. I am still accepting new clients, with the understanding that we will pause or end by July.
