In therapy I value collaboration, humor, and compassion. I believe in a holistic approach where we consider you not as a diagnosis or set of symptoms, but as a whole, complex, capable human being. You are the expert in your own life– in our work I will strive to provide support, reflection, and camaraderie as you seek out a life that fulfills you.
I’ve spent the last decade working in community organizing and crisis mental health services— I take the implications of the social, political, and cultural contexts in which we live seriously. I have experience working with complex trauma and PTSD as well as those with traditionally marginalized identities.
As a chronically ill and disabled therapist, I deeply appreciate working with folks on the complexities of living with illness and disability in this society. I also have experience supporting polyamorous and non-monogamous dynamics as well as BDSM and kink practices.
My practice is trauma-informed with a strong intersectional feminist and systemic lens. I incorporate DBT, Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) into my approach. I have additionally completed Level 1 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.
When I’m not in the office, I enjoy reading, biking in the sunshine, and playing video games. I am working under the supervision of Leisha Suggs, LMFT. If we might be a good fit, please reach out for a phone consultation!
