Hi 🙂 I’m a licensed therapist in the state of California. I’m queer and non-monogamous, and it’s important to me to hold safe space for people of all sexual, gender, and relationship orientations. I have specialized training in supporting people with issues related to neurodivergence, non-monogamy, unstable relationships, and LGBTQ+ related issues. I’ve also worked in the psychiatric mental health setting both as a therapist at a hospital and in inpatient residential programs, which strengthened my skills in supporting people with a wide range of mental health challenges and diagnoses.
My style with clients is individualized based on each person’s personality and needs. I often incorporate Mindfulness, Expressive arts, IFS parts work, DBT, CBT, and Somatic interventions into my work with clients. I also support clients in envisioning ways to strengthen their support systems if needed, with a foundational belief that connection with community is vital to healing the widespread anxiety, depression, overwhelm, and loneliness that most people in our culture struggle with.
You are not alone, even though it often feels that way in our individualistic culture. We’re all in this together, and I’d love to meet you and join your support team as you find ways to best navigate the ups and downs of this wild ride of life.
