About My Clients
My clients are looking to live their best lives ASAP -- they come from all walks and are open to change, even if they are not certain how to achieve what they want. I work well with the LGBTQ+ community around issues of identity, relationships, sex, and self-acceptance. Creative people will find me helpful in navigating being a working artist, burnout and blocks. Couples can join me to develop better communication skills and move beyond impasses.
My Approach to Helping
My practice is psychoanalytic, and my approach is queer-affirming and culturally conscious. I welcome clients with intersecting and marginalized identities. By unpacking stress, depression, anxiety, and other negative patterns, we will work together to deepen your self-knowledge, improve your relationships, and connect more fully to the present moment. My theoretical approach is tailored to each client, and includes elements of cognitive-behavioral, existential, and narrative therapies informed by multicultural and feminist theory.
My Values as a Therapist
Therapy can be about much more than treating symptoms. I’m committed to helping people not only imagine a life beyond prescribed labels, but to transcend the status quo and live each day with authenticity, serenity, and purpose. I strongly believe that clarity of intent and radical self-acceptance are the surest paths to fulfillment and joy. Though we will face the most serious issues together, we will do so with mutual respect, patience, and creativity.
