I work with adolescents and adults and have received extensive training in client-centered therapeutic interventions to help individuals find relief from grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, and other forms of emotional suffering. I am especially sensitive to the ways oppression (racism, sexism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, ageism, heterosexism, monosexism, classism, anti-Semitism, ableism and others) and microaggressions impact emotional health, identity and well-being.

Although I enjoy working with a wide variety of people, I specialize in counseling those who experience themselves as outsiders to dominant culture: creative artists, performers, activists, LGBTQ and gender non-conforming folks and people who may feel "other" due to cultural or family bias. 

I believe that experiences of oppression can result in embodied trauma (often diagnosed at PTSD or C-PTSD) and have devoted many hours to learning how to support individuals to heal in the context of ongoing injustice and danger.

As a queer and bi identified cisgender woman. I have a special interest in supporting bi, pan and other non-monosexual queer people to navigate biphobia and a sense of not being “queer enough.” I also train other therapists, and am available for consultation on this topic.

I have lifelong commitment to confronting internalized and externalized white supremacy and am continually striving to decolonize my therapy practice. I welcome work with white clients who are ready to unpack and disrupt white supremacy. My approach to work with BIPOC clients is one of accountability, cultural humility and transparency as well as an understanding that BIPOC clients often want to work with BIPOC therapists. I have a commitment to helping making those referrals and connections when requested.

Since 2017, I have devoted many hours to learning how to support clients to beat screen addiction and right-size their relationships with technology. I believe that it’s important for all of us to understand how social media and other digital platforms intersect with capitalism and cause harm to our relationships, our world views, our independent thinking, our free will and our minds. I help clients to build nonjudgmental awareness of the personal impact of surveillance capitalism and to notice their thoughts, feelings, sensations and urges related to the media they consume. Together, we create a customized plan for you to use these powerful tools on your own terms.

I also have extensive experience working with those impacted by intimate partner violence, dynamics of power and control, and emotionally abusive relationships and offer supportive, nonjudgmental counseling to people who are still in abusive situations, trying to leave them, recovering from abuse, or feeling like something isn’t quite right about the power dynamic in their relationship.

I am currently only offering sessions for individuals and do not work with couples, relationships or families.
