Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
My therapeutic orientation is guided by a psychodynamic, relational approach that emphasizes trust-building and collaboration. I draw on a range of modalities to meet my clients’ needs, including narrative therapy, cognitive-behavioral, and motivational interviewing techniques. I believe treatment should be rooted in a client’s strengths and network of relationships. My approach is anchored in Liberation Health with an explicit anti-oppressive, intersectional, feminist lens, including identifying the emotional and somatic impact of systems like capitalism, racism, heterosexism, and classism. I work with adult clients to navigate relationships, identity, anxiety / mood disorders, interpersonal / systemic trauma, college / life transitions and immigration. I specialize in working with QTBIPOC clients, addressing the intersections of identity (e.g., race, gender, sexuality) and relationship dynamics, including polyamory/consensual non-monogamy. I have experience in survivor support, peer support, and political education, which inform my approach. My style is warm, transparent, compassionate, and non-judgmental. I also encourage clients to provide me with feedback about our work together.
