About My Clients

I work with individuals, couples, and families from all walks of life. Many have complex intersectional identities and are trying to navigate mental and emotional struggles, while trying their best to maintain relationships and stay afloat during these difficult times. Life is complicated, scary, and uncertain. My mission is to help you find a sense of safety, learn new skills, and improve relationships and daily outcomes.

My Background and Approach

My therapy approach is trauma-informed and identity affirmative, emphasizing non-judgment and safety. Using a mix of therapeutic frameworks, I help individuals overcome relationship conflicts, painful disappointments, and recent life changes. I have training in CBT, couples, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Narrative Therapy and more. Experience with relationship difficulty, depression, anxiety, family stressors, work conflict, difficulty finding meaning in life, and exploring passions. Graduate of Georgetown University and Columbia School of Social Work. I am also a Certified Life Coach and Family Trauma Specialist.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Curiosity is better than expertise. As someone at the intersection of a number of identities in today’s society, I am acutely aware of the challenges people face in their lives and what is needed to make an effective therapy experience. I believe people want to be listened to intently with no judgment and no assumptions, and I believe people should be treated with respect and honored as the experts and authors of their own lives. My job as a therapist is to create a safe environment to facilitate change.
