Welcome,
I am currently accepting new clients for therapy, coaching, and professional consultation.
I am a trauma-informed Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I began my psychotherapy education and training in 2008, and quickly gained particular interest and insight for working with people who are braving new life transitions, healing from past and/or recent traumas, and with people whose identities, communities, and cultures have been systematically excluded, oppressed, and targeted with discrimination and violence.
I offer individual and couples counseling services to adults for a range of issues including: anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness & isolation, body image, life transitions, conflict & communication, and interpersonal and systemic abuse, oppression, and trauma.
These are terrifying times—I’m here to hold it all with you.
I work from within anti-oppressive, anti-racist, decolonizing frameworks and with an intersectional and LGBTQIA2+ affirmative lens. I believe that healing and growth happens with people who ask “what happened to you?” not “what’s wrong with you?” and in relationships that are both affirming and honest. In the moments where I see what you see, I will absolutely tell you. I won’t pretend I don’t see the relational abuse and/or systemic oppression you are experiencing and/or witnessing in order to present as “neutral.”
I welcome you to explore my website to learn more about my experience and my approach to psychotherapy.
