My Approach

Where in life do you find meaning? As your therapist, I am eager to discover the values that define your character. Guided by existential, psychodynamic, and relational-cultural therapy, I aim to explore how your patterns of connection and disconnection are influenced by past relationships. We can unpack how your defense mechanisms are used to maintain balance and combat distress. As a queer-affirming counselor, our sessions can revolve around gender,  sexual, or cultural identity exploration. Our room is also a safe space to discuss the systemic structures that may have disempowered you. I am also drawn to somatic interventions, gauging how trauma is stored within the body. I consider myself an advocate of body liberation, body neutrality, and making peace with food!
