Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
I am a trauma-focused practitioner and have experience working with adults and elders on a variety of concerns, including life transitions and stress, traumatic experiences, toxic and abusive relationships, chronic illness and disability, gender, sexuality, anxiety, and depression. As a person-centered practitioner, I believe that recovery is possible and that you know yourself best. I work to create an environment of unconditional acceptance as we work together to explore what's unresolved, unbalanced, and causing pain in your life. I draw from several evidence-based practices to provide individualized treatment to every client. While I work with individuals, there are structural imbalances in our society that contribute to individual problems. For example, dealing with rape culture, patriarchy, white supremacy, colonialism, homophobia, transphobia, and ableism. I believe that these structural problems are relevant to the individual therapeutic experience. The process of change and healing is not linear and can be difficult; however, you are not alone. I hope that after our work together is done, you will feel increasingly balanced, content, and that you have the tools to move through life without my help.
