Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
I believe that therapy begins with the building of a strong, honest, and collaborative relationship. Through the creation of this alliance, it becomes possible to discover a client-centered focus for treatment and to engage dynamically in the therapeutic process. I see therapy as a space for healing and growth, co-created and nurtured by both client and clinician. My practice is psychodynamic, relational, and at its core holistic, recognizing and integrating the biological, psychological, and social aspects of experience, as well as the individual, institutional, and cultural roots of issues as they arise. I am an individual and family practitioner with over fifteen years of experience working as an educator, community organizer, counselor, social worker and therapist. I have a deep awareness of how profoundly systemic oppression injures and am dedicated to maintaining a practice that is affirming of all identities and experiences. I have worked extensively within LGBTQ+ communities and prioritize serving those who are often mistreated in mental health settings, including clients of color and queer, trans and non-binary clients.
