Our work will be a collaborative effort to understand you — why you think, feel, believe, and behave the way you do — and to help you grow personally, professionally, and relationally. I believe that the mental health symptoms we experience are a manifestation of unresolved conflicts from our past. I largely work from a “bottom-up” approach, working to address the symptoms at the root and create self-awareness, curiosity, insight, and long-lasting change. I specialize in providing psychotherapy to adults and adolescents experiencing relationship, sexuality, and LGBTQ+ issues; anxiety; depression; eating disorders; family conflicts; and developmental or relational trauma. I approach therapy from a standpoint of non-judgmental curiosity and an antiracist, anti-oppressive lens.
