IDENTITY:
As an openly queer-identified clinician, I have an appreciation for the enlivening experience of knowing that your therapist is a person with whom you can bring your entire self without fear of stigma, judgment, or having to overly explain your identity to someone who isn’t familiar with our community. Whatever is bringing you to therapy, whether it be specifically LGBTQIA+-related issues or other challenges, I am here to provide affirming and inclusive psychotherapy services to you.

THERAPY PHILOSOPHY:
My practice is a space where you can have a partner in holding your inner world with curiosity. I approach therapy by providing an attentive, collaborative, and honest space where we can explore your internal landscape, gain insight into your patterns, and find authentic ways of being you. I actively tailor sessions to address your unique needs and to create an environment where you be truly seen and heard. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (Smith College School for Social Work ’15), I pay close attention to the ways in which your intersecting identities and life’s circumstances may play a role in your emotional life. We may be a good fit if you experience anxiety, depression, challenging family relationships, grief, trauma, perfectionism, feeling stuck, and more.

I have an authentic passion for being a part of people’s journeys toward living a contented life. To ensure that you receive the highest quality care from me, I regularly engage in clinical education. I hold a certificate in psychoanalytic psychotherapy program from the Los Angeles Institute & Society for Psychoanalytic Studies (LAISPS).
