About My Clients
My clients are often facing a significant loss, grief, trauma, or significant life transition (divorce, job loss, illness). Often they are experiencing anxiety, stress or depression. I will work to understand your unique story and to increase awareness, deepen understanding, and support progress towards your personal goals. I primarily work with young adults (17+), adults and elders from all cultural, racial and religious backgrounds. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and sex positive.
My Background and Approach
I work from a trauma-informed, strengths-based, interpersonal perspective. By integrating psychodynamic principles with evidence-based practices, I empower clients to gain deeper insights into their patterns, relationships, and life experiences. I like to be active in sessions and tend to incorporate any relevant, current research in my clinical work. My previous experience includes clinical social work, advocacy for survivors of sexual and intimate partner violence, and case management and group therapy for community members in a free clinic and in a day center for those experiencing homelessness. From these experiences I have learned that clients are experts in themselves, and it is my job to collaborate with my clients to become the best therapist for them.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I view therapy as a unique, dynamic space between two people where an alliance is being formed. My job is to meet you where you are at and ensure you feel deeply seen, heard, and understood. I believe our past experiences and stressors impact our current reactions, thoughts and future worries. My goal is to walk beside you and help you navigate the complexities of your past and present so you can approach the world in a new way.
