Ideally, therapy has been shown to have the best outcomes when you feel like your therapist gets you. Therapy is a relationship, rather than a set of instructions. My approach is warm, interactive, practical, and empathic, and I draw from relational, feminist, trauma-informed, anti-racist treatment models. I believe in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship, along with helping you contextualize your life experiences, honoring your expertise in your own life. I specialize in working with those that are struggling with issues around depression, immigrant identity trauma/issues, mood disorders, and family violence. I am also sex work friendly. Reaching out for help can be overwhelming. I hope to alleviate some of its challenges by creating a supportive, non-judgmental space, as my approach is collaborative and strengths based.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I am a warm and relational therapist, and I enjoy getting to know you, your story, and what may be behind the presentation that we see.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I enjoy bringing humor in sessions, it's a beautiful way of normalizing the humanness of all of us. I enjoy curiosity, so I encourage it, along with bringing in information that feels relevant to the issue at hand. My experience has been with working with folks in unhealthy/abusive relationships, either with loved ones or family, and speaking to how we may move out of what we know to what we envision for ourselves.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I have particular expertise around family violence, as well as focusing on relationship issues, how we relate to each other, folks needing more support around conflict.
