Integrative Therapy
Our process will be collaborative. My approach to therapy is integrative, trauma-informed, relational, and somatic (body-based) — drawing from different modalities unique to clients’ needs and experiences.
Together, I hope to create a space that feels safe, warm, non-pathologizing, and grounded in openness and curiosity —so that you may confidentially explore the challenges you have been facing, and experience movement toward well-being, at your own pace.
I practice from an anti-oppressive framework and am affirming of all gender identities and expressions, sexualities, races, and ethnicities.
I support adults and adolescents in navigating grief, trauma, emotional regulation, anxiety, depression, life transitions, interpersonal challenges, and self understanding.
Incorporating art therapy into sessions can help with the exploration and expression of emotions and inner experiences.

Liberation Oriented,
Anti-Oppressive Care
I am responsive to how broader systems impact clients’ experiences of feeling unheard, marginalized, or disempowered. Historically, models of psychology have often, both directly and indirectly, “served to reinforce oppressive structures by shifting focus away from those structures and toward individual factors” (Ignacio Martín-Baró, Writings for a Liberation Psychology, 1994). I am committed to examining the systems I work within and engaging in liberatory-oriented trainings.
I maintain an openness to complexity, discomfort, and being in process —within myself and in how I practice. If you would like to learn more about my approach, please feel free to contact me
