I approach my therapeutic practice through an anti-oppressive lens with a combination of psychodynamic, humanistic, and relational theories. Oftentimes, words alone cannot fully capture a feeling, or experience, nor can they allow us to fully process our traumas. For those who are interested, I offer Art Therapy and EMDR Therapy to facilitate a more wholistic approach to your therapeutic journey. Regardless of the technique, at the center of my practice is my belief that the alliance between the client and therapist is the most vital component to therapy. Additionally, as a queer, brown woman, I have a particular interest in supporting others who identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQ+. Together, we will examine how your various identities impact your personal experiences as well as your relationships with others. For each of my clients, my goal is to create a space in which you feel understood and supported. My hope is that the people with whom I work feel comfortable enough to explore the complexities of their everyday lives and empowered to expand in positive and sustainable ways.
Some of the specific areas I have experience in supporting include; addressing past and/or current traumas, managing stress, anxiety, and depression, improving self-esteem/self-worth, navigating ethical non-monogamy, and finding solutions to relational difficulties.
Whether you would like to attend therapy on your own or with your partner, I will provide a caring and non-judgmental space. Throughout our work together I will remain curious, engaged, and committed to supporting you in your process of increased self-awareness, insight, and healing.
