Therapists » Licensed Master Social Worker
We are all complex individuals with a simple goal to feel accepted and loved. On this mission, defenses can go into overdrive, leading to anxiety, depression, and conflicts in relationships. In our work, we will explore how the past shapes the emotional experience of the present to reclaim and embrace every part of yourself. In addition to individual therapy, I also apply this approach to couples therapy, where I utilize an attachment-based framework to strengthen relationship dynamics. I am passionate about providing affirming support to the LGBTQ+ community and creating an inclusive space where all identities are uplifted. I also utilize a body-based approach. I am a student of Somatic Experiencing which helps process and release symptoms of trauma by exploring and regulating physical sensations. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who experience chronic stress, emotional dysregulation, and those who want their body to catch up to their mind on the road to healing. I welcome laughter, as well as tears, as these are the human experiences that bring us closer to healing. At the core of my practice, I believe even the most negative thoughts and behaviors stem from unmet needs, from your past or present. Together, we will uncover these pain points to find clarity, acceptance, and a new path forward.
