She/Her/They/Them
Licensed Therapist, LMFT
About
I view people as the multifaceted individuals they truly are, always considering unique identities and life experiences before beginning the real work of therapy. I ensure my members know we're on the same team. I'm there every step of the way, providing warmth, encouragement, humor, and a nonjudgmental attitude. I encourage you to challenge yourself here. Compulsions keep you stuck, not safe. I also specialize in complex trauma/PTSD, eating disorders, substance use, and self-harm. Many of my members identify as part of the BIPOC and/or LGBT+ communities.
