I work with you to make therapy accessible. In my experience it's natural for many people to worry about finding the right therapist and how to start once they do. I will work with you build a good therapeutic relationship, to identify goals and move forward. While I have a generalist practice, I often work with adolescents and young adults who are struggling with healthy choices, anxiety and depression. I also focus my work on identity/gender issues, relationships, and sexuality/intimacy concerns including alternative lifestyles, various relationship configurations and the LGBTQI community.
Additionally, I have extensive experience with foster care and adoption and work with all involved to help with difficult transitions. Additional experience includes self- harm, sex work and sexual violence. I use a harm reduction approach in my work with both adolescents and adults.
I honor diversity and work in an environment that is relaxed and welcoming. I incorporate art, writing, play and creativity in my work and also enjoy walking and changing environments to allow you to feel more comfortable and think through concerns in different ways.
