I offer individual & couples/relationship therapy to adolescents & adults where I provide an integrative, client-centered, relational approach to treatment. I’m influenced by psychodynamic, attachment, & social justice theories, as well as contemplative psychology, somatic, & emotion-focused approaches. I draw on multiple modalities, including relational psychoanalysis, EFT, DBT, mindfulness, hypnosis, ACT, & body-based approaches in order to provide individualized treatment. I understand feelings & patterns of behavior as pieces in a complex network of motivation & influence & I treat people as the complex beings they are. Social justice is at the core my work, & I consciously work to resist supremacy & discrimination. I am particularly interested & proficient working with folks who have experienced trauma & the LGBTQIA+ community. I am sex & kink positive & work with polyamorous/ENM relationship structures. I work with people navigating a range of experiences and challenges, including relationship challenges, depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, self-harm, identity exploration, grief/loss, life & career transitions, chronic pain, somatic presentations, deconstructing internalized oppressions & more.
