Personal Statement

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a passion for supporting adults in creating the lives they want. Whether you want more satisfying relationships, to understand yourself better, or deal with anxiety, depression, or trauma, I believe you have the capacity for growth and healing. Having a strong relationship with your therapist is key to your success in therapy, and I aim to create an open, welcoming space where your whole self feels seen and accepted just as you are. I also believe that oppressive systems are often at the root of distress and am committed to an approach that is anti-racist, LGBTQ affirming, and inclusive.

Together we will identify your goals and look at past experiences, patterns, or beliefs that are getting in the way. That awareness will give you freedom to explore new approaches to showing up in life and navigating the world to help you to make the change you are seeking.

I have years of experience in the mental health field and my style is based in psychodynamic psychotherapy, EMDR, behavioral approaches, and an anti-oppression framework. I am also a massage therapist and yoga teacher and use my knowledge of the body to help clients deepen their own internal awareness as a path towards healing and growth
