Therapist Overview
You want a therapist who welcomes every single part of you. As a trauma-informed therapist, I prioritize collaborating with clients to build safety, trust, and transparency so you can bring your full, authentic self to your journey towards growth and healing. My approach balances both accepting clients where they are and challenging them to take steps towards their goals. With curiosity, compassion, and plenty of humor, our work together can help you learn to live more fully in the present moment, manage painful emotions, develop self-compassion, and build more genuine relationships so that you can not only survive, but thrive. I specialize in complex trauma, relationship issues, shame, self-esteem, and anxiety. I utilize a feminist relational approach, with a strong passion for working with artists, activists, LGBTQIA+ and non-monogamous individuals/couples, and disabled and neurodivergent clients. I welcome exploring the impact of power, privilege, and oppression in your life. Together, we can co-create a space that honors your history, resiliency, values, and beliefs, in order to find the balance between deep self-acceptance and commitment to change. I offer free phone consultations, so please reach out if you’d like to learn more about services I provide and explore how we could work together.
