The ways in which we view ourselves and understand our experiences shape how we think and feel. We each come into therapy with unique experiences that inform our current ways of thinking and being. By understanding the stories that shape us, we can shift them into narratives of empowerment, growth, and change. I am a social worker with specific experience working with queer & trans individuals, people with HIV and people from marginalized communities. I work with people from many backgrounds who want to feel better, overcome trauma and shame, understand how the past still affects them and strive to be better versions of themselves. I use a variety of approaches but tailor my approach to you and your goals. I'm trained in EMDR, CBT, Narrative Therapy & psychodynamic therapies. Whether you are seeking to address mood and anxiety, recover from traumatic experiences, connect more authentically to others or address substance use; I can help you move towards a better life. We are navigating unprecedented challenges in our world – a time of transformational change and widespread suffering in which we are searching, more than ever, for the support and care of others. I applaud you for seeking the support of consistent therapy and I am glad you found your way to my practice – let’s find out if I’m the right therapist for you!
