My Clients: I regularly work with clients on common issues such as: major life transitions, depression, anxiety, struggles with work-life balance, racial identity, family of origin issues, grief, trauma, and addiction recovery. I am passionate about working with: People of color, Students, people who identify as possessing multiple minority identities, LGBTQIA+, relationship problems, bicultural stress, cultural adjustment, sexual trauma, and issues related to sexual identity and gender. I am also comfortable working with non-heteronormative relationship lifestyles; particularly navigating issues related to open/poly relationships.
I have particular expertise working with: Couples and non-heteronormative relationships. Families, partners, and support persons impacted by substance abuse, Co-occurring Disorders, parenting, substance abuse and/or disordered eating during pregnancy, and parents of individuals identified to be on the Autism spectrum or that have sensory sensitivity.
I work primarily using an interpersonal approach grounded in attachment theory. However, I often take a Technically Eclectic approach to therapy, while ensuring transparency in my reasoning, and elaborating on where my interventions come from. In this way, the therapy process is not mysterious.
