My Approach to Helping

My approach to therapy is one that is client-centered and collaborative. While I am versed in many modalities of MFT treatments, I primarily work from a background that leans heavily into Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), as well as Humanistic-Existential Therapy techniques. My perspective is that humans are inherently relational beings and those relationships are ultimately maintained or dissolved by underlying emotional inner-workings. In our time together, we will work to name those emotions and identify what those emotions are attempting to direct us towards. As your therapist, it's my priority to co-create a space with my clients that is affirming, inclusive, safe and supportive.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I have a strong background in working with issues around intimacy and sexuality both with individuals and couples. I also work with members of oppressed populations to navigate a number of issues they may experience as a result of systemic marginalization. This work is always done with an emphasis on social justice and empowerment in a collaborative manner. I believe that therapy is a delicate contract between myself and my clients and one that takes time and trust to fully realize the potential and power of change. At its fullest potential, therapy can be a celebration of the ways in which we are all different while appreciating how we're all connected.
