My Approach

My overall therapeutic approach is relational, psychodynamic, resilience and strengths-based, sensory-attuned, and trauma-informed.

I incorporate a wide variety of theories & approaches depending on unique experiences and goals, including but not limited to: harm reduction, mindfulness, internal family systems, narrative approach, attachment theory, feminist theory, critical race theory, minority stress theory, psychodynamic theory, and polyvagal theory. I am an Advanced Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) Practitioner; ART can be used for trauma processing, grief/loss, fears/phobias, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and more.

Along with these approaches, I strive to bring energy, humor, honesty, and creativity to sessions and aim to provide a welcoming, non-judgmental, and safe space for clients to express authenticity and vulnerability.

  • Relational

    I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is essential to healing, growth, & exploration.

    I offer my authentic personality, including use of humor and use of self when appropriate, to establish genuine connection and care with my clients.

    I believe in attachment theory and using a relational approach.

  • Social Justice

    I care deeply about providing inclusive, accessible, anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and culturally-responsive care to BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and other marginalized communities.

    I work with a systemic and intersectional lens, as well as awareness of power dynamics and areas of privilege & oppression.

  • Sensory-Informed

    As a sensory-sensitive human, I get it.

    Lighting, aesthetics, temperatures, sounds, scents, visuals, textures, body sensations, repetition, reflections…

    It matters to your well-being: I see you.

    I am deeply passionate about providing affirming care for your sensory experiences.

  • Modalities

    I have an eclectic & creative approach, pulling from a variety of theories and modalities while prioritizing the strength of the therapeutic relationship.

    I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).

  • Identities

    Our identities and experiences matter!

    I enjoy working with people as they explore their identities and seek to make meaning/find clarity around their lived experiences, quirks, needs, and overall understanding of themselves.

    I strive to provide non-pathological and non-judgmental support as you’re navigating topics of gender, sexuality, relationships, race, neurodiversity, giftedness, ability, and class.
