About My Clients
I work with individuals ages 11+ experiencing anxiety/depression, low self-esteem, relational issues, suicidal thinking & self-harm. I enjoy working with people who have a trauma history. I work with perinatal & postpartum issues for both mothers & fathers. I do parent coaching for parents who may be struggling with certain developmental stages. I also work with couples (couples exploring polyamory/ethical non-monogamy are welcome). I am Kink Allied and Sex Positive, LGBTQ+ affirming.
My Background and Approach
I was trained in a Psychodynamic approach to therapy and I work from an attachment lens. My therapeutic style is trauma-informed and takes into account a client's race, gender identity, socioeconomic background, and other key elements of their identity. I use somatic (body) work to help clients get back in their body when they are dysregulated and I work from a Health At Every Size and body positive lens. My goal is for therapy to be a safe, nonjudgmental pace where people can come to be heard, validated, and challenged where necessary. I believe that you are the expert on your own life and as your therapist, I am just here to support you where I can. I value my relationship with each and every one of my clients and don't believe in a power dynamic between client and therapist. I use the therapeutic alliance to help clients model healthy relationship skills outside the therapy space.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a therapist and a person, I believe strongly in human rights and equality. My work is LGBTQ+ and trans affirming, as well as BIPOC affirming. I am constantly learning to ensure that I stay culturally competent for all populations that I work with. Outside of work, I am passionate about volunteering and rescuing animals.
