What I do
I provide one-on-one virtual therapy in English to people 16 years of age and older. I operate from a trauma-informed and humanistic lens to help clients build emotional awareness and management skills to help move through the various challenges they may encounter in everyday life. As my background is in social work, I will also consider how the biological, social, and environmental factors of our worlds impact wellbeing.
How I can help
Pulling from CBT, DBT, narrative therapy and trauma-based modalities, I am very comfortable in supporting folks with medical illness for themselves or loved ones, including managing caregiver stress and burnout. I have an extensive background working with people in their late-teens and early adult years experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, chronic and acute stress, and social concerns (i.e., implementing boundaries, communication strategies, interpersonal relationships, life transitions, etc.). I am a strong advocate for our 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.
My Values
I value transparency and humor in both my professional and personal worlds. Whenever possible, I strive to outline clear expectations for myself and others so as to hopefully take the “guessing game” out of the interactions.
